This proposal fails to take into account induced demand and the positive impact bike lanes have generally had regarding the safety of all road users including drivers and also for the small business owners on affected streets. If the goal is reducing congestion then reducing car ownership and the need to drive should be the goal. Eliminating parking minimums / tolling highways / improving public transit aggressively / adding cycling infrastructure should be considered instead.

The intrusion of the provincial government into what should be a municipal responsibility is concerning to me.
