I strongly disagree with this proposed legislation. Whether to install a local bike lane should be firmly within the jurisdiction of municipalities, without provincial interference. Whether to prioritize car lanes or bike lanes or sidewalks or other ways of getting places is similarly a matter for the government of a municipality to decide. The province has no particular expertise in this area and the needs of municipalities across the province vary greatly. I also have serious concerns with the costs associated with provincial review of existing bike lanes in municipalities. This seems an unnecessarily costly and interventionist form of government.
