Bike lanes are an important…

Bike lanes are an important part of our infrastructure. The province should not have a say as to where municipalities choose to have bike lanes as the province is not local. We should be working to improve alternative means of transportation rather than relying on cars to get us places. Perhaps if people had reliable and safe alternatives, more people would commute via bicycles which would reduce grid lock for those who drive. Forcing municipalities to get approval from the province is creating unnecessary redtape and putting a band aid on the problem. It will also only make roads less safe for cyclists. This is a horrible idea.
