I believe that the provincial government should reduce red tape by not interfering in municipal infrastructure planning. It is not the provincial governments responsibility to address transportation decisions within municipalities and is simply a waste of taxpayer money.

Additionally, if the reason for this is to reduce congestion, then it's simply the wrong approach anyways. Every bike you take off the road by reducing safe bike lanes adds another vehicle, this increasing congestion. Municipalities should have the right to create multi-modal transit options within their region as they see fit to reduce congestion but also increase the safety and enjoyment of the City. Those who travel by vehicle are not the only priority and are catered to more than any mode of transportation already. This is coming from a person who solely commutes by vehicle.
