the Council of Tay Valley Township agrees with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario statement that, “Municipalities, relying on local knowledge and community input, are best positioned to balance traffic flow with active transportation, road safety, and community needs. Biking is a key tool for combating congestion; bike lanes are an essential element of multi-modal planning that removes cars from the road for short trips and transit connections, thus alleviating congestion, not causing it.”

The local municipality should be able to design its roads and bike lanes without interference from the province.
