This bill is completely backwards in priorities and will never achieve its states goals. More lanes do not reduce traffic. You reduce traffic by building alternative options: transit and active mobility.
I want to be able to bike safely on streets where I live, both on my own and with my kids. We bike for transport to school, daycare and local shopping. Currently, our main street is an unsafe route for biking for adults, let alone kids. There is plenty of room in the right of way to share. Full bi-directional bike ways can take the place of ugly and dangerous street parking on just one side of a street. We should do this on all major routes. Build the network, people will Bible, roads will have fewer cars.
The province inserting itself as an obstacle in the progress of healthy transport is inappropriate and unnecessary.
Either help build the future or get out of the way.
