In general, a strong bike network will reduce motor vehicle traffic as more cars are off the road and the remaining vehicles can achieve better efficiency even with fewer lanes. This can be seen in many studies across the globe.

If the province throws a wrench in the plans and stops existing bicycle lanes to become more connected with new lanes (thus leaving the smaller separated networks that are useful to exponentially less people), the province will create a “worst of both worlds” situation.

More bike lanes is part of the solution to traffic, not the enemy. Speed up the bike lane and separated public transit lane process, do not slow it down.

Trust the cities to handle their traffic.
Use evidence based studies to make informed decisions, not voter base opinions.
