As an equal user of both…

As an equal user of both cars and bicycles, I see the value to cyclist and non-cyclists both in allowing for bike lanes. Studies of all other cities that improved cycling infrastructure showed that businesses, residents and commuters all benefited from the infrastructure. Particularly in North America, where vehicles are so large, encouraging people to commute in vehicles instead of on bicycles only adds to the volume of traffic.

I also don't support the provincial government interfering with cities planners deciding what's best for their communities.
