I see several problems with the bike lane proposals.
- Local governments are better placed than the more remote provincial government to assess the impact of bike lanes on local traffic flow.
- There are both environmental and personal health benefits to cycling rather than driving. Having more dedicated bike lanes encourages more people to cycle rather than driving.
- Having more lanes for car traffic gives a short-term increase in speed but no long-term benefit as these lanes fill up with additional cars. Better public transportation and provisions for active transportation are more effective ways to address clogged roads.
