Cities, like Ottawa where I live, do NOT need provincial approval to build bike lanes. Tell Doug Ford to stay in his lane and stay out of cities’ affairs. Citizens elect municipal representatives to deal w matters for residents. No need for more red tape and meddling by the Premier and Cabinet. Furthermore, the idea of ripping up existing bike lanes along w preventing more bike lanes to be built is a regressive plan and a colossal waste of taxpayer money. We need more bike lanes to ensure the security of cyclists; but less. Lastly, we’re now reaping the devastating effects of climate change due to decades’ long inaction on the part of elected officials at all levels of govt. We need less cars and trucks on the roads and more climate-friendly modes of transportation, like bikes, public transit, etc.
