Bill 60 would take power away from people and their communities and give it to cars.

It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.

It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.

It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving.

It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.

It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.

This is not about being “pro-bike” or “anti-car”. It’s about evidence-based transportation planning and local democracy. The facts are clear: bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion.
