The province is overreaching…

The province is overreaching with this bill and doesn’t have the necessary insight to be planning cities.
You gave mayors “strong mayor” power to help cities be more self-determining, it’s time to step away and let them take a hands-on approach to city planning that involves community consultation as well as data. Data which shows overall benefits that go along with bike lanes, time and time again.
Lack of cycling infrastructure kills people, and no city lacks motor vehicle infrastructure. Back off and let the cities build their roads to benefit and keep safe *all* their citizens. Perhaps you should refocus your efforts and invest in public transit infrastructure, which is much more efficient at moving people around than more traffic lanes or tunnels under highways.
