Almost every day, cyclists are injured, killed or endangered while trying to get to their work or home safely. Protected bike lanes make them (us) safer, reduce traffic congestion by reducing the number of cars in the road, and cycling has health and environmental benefits. Provide people with a safe environment in which to cycle and more will do so, further reducing traffic congestion for those who have to drive.
Bike lanes are municipal responsibility, and provincial overreach that appears to be focussed on Toronto ignores the rest of the province.
It should also be remembered that not everyone can or will drive. Cyclists are children, students, and workers who may not be able to afford a car or parking. Reducing safe spaces to cycle will disproportionately disadvantage certain parts of the population.
In summary, equity and safety issues need to be considered.
