Instead of more highways (and expropriating land from rightful owners to build said highways) we instead need more public transportation infrastructure.

Bike lanes are great, but as it stands there isn't enough other infrastructure to properly utilize them.

If people can't take a decent quick bus or train then they are stuck in their small area with their bike. And when the lanes aren't properly up kept (particularly in winter months) then they become all but useless.

I say all this as a person who drives a car. I rely on my car to get around because I acknowledge that as it stands it's impossible to do otherwise.

We need high speed rail transit in this province to facilitate movement between large cities. And high quality buses, subways, and trains within cities or else we'll just keep building highways until the province is nothing but pavement.
