The way the government is…

The way the government is talking about this Act fuels a divisive rhetoric of "bikes versus cars." But what we can all agree on is that safer streets, with slower moving traffic in urban areas, saves lives. Lives of loved ones that we all have.

Protected bike lanes are the best way to keep cyclists safe on streets, as research shows. It also shows that because of induced demand, adding more lanes of traffic does not in fact ease congestion. In addition, vehicles are a leading cause of carbon emissions in Canada.

This is 2024. Climate change is a reality. The way we live and move must adapt. Please drop this regressive Act and show true leadership by bringing people together under the common cause of safer streets for all.
