If the goal of this bill is to reduce congestion, it is 100% wrong-headed. Congestion is not caused by people on bikes - whether they're in protected bike lanes or sharing lanes with cars. Congestion is caused by cars on the road. Good bike infrastructure gives people options other than driving, which decreases cars on the road and decreases traffic.
Seeing this kind of ignorant and mean policy being advanced based on feelings which completely ignoring all data we have about how to effectively move people through a city core is really heartbreaking.
These problems have been solved elsewhere - like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Paris. And the people who solved them are willing to share their results with us. The data is there, the experiments have been run, we know what doesn't work and what does work. Let's embrace sensible and data-driven policy in this province.
