This piece of policy is…

This piece of policy is absolutely ridiculous. Firstly this is a gross overreach of provincial resources into micro-managing municipalities. Secondly, it has been well established that increasing road volume does not reduce traffic and gridlock. The only reliable way to reduce gridlock is to reduce the number of cars on the road. One way of doing that is INCREASING the number of bike lanes, and alternative ways of travel. This proposal is either incredibly poorly researched or a thinly veiled way to pander to anti environmentalist and pro-car lobbyists. I am vehemently against this piece of legislation and hope that this backwards type of thinking is left in the past, where it belongs.
