Why does the province want…

Why does the province want to meddle in the local infrastructure which those municipalities see fit? And if they do want to meddle, why not interfere in demanding more on an issue that is having huge impacts on the province - housing.
Bike infrastructure take people off the road and increases safety for everyone - yes even cars.
The cities that have included bike lanes in their planning recognize the need to transform we have traditionally moved people from place to place and should be rewarded with even more bike lane projects. As a young person in this province, these steps to stop a clearly beneficial trend in our cities by the province make me lose hope in our leadership and the people that continue to undermine progress in the name of dumb politics.
