With all due respect I don’t…

With all due respect I don’t see how this could POSSIBLY reduce gridlock. Bike lanes are PROVEN, EFFECTIVE traffic reduction measures. They require minimal space compared to car lanes (allowing for parking, extended sidewalks, patios for businesses, trees, and more) yet facilitate the movement of more people per square metre around cities. Encouraging more people to cycle through the addition of more bike lanes will permit people who do need to commute by car to have overall more space on the road. Having a provincial road block to their development will not help anybody and I can guarantee is seeding resentment in citizens of cities who wish for MUNICIPAL matters to be controlled by MUNICIPAL governance, not a provincial nanny-government who is so pathetic they spend their time trying to destroy healthy, eco-friendly, economically-wise measures instead of implementing anything that would actually help this province.
