Making it more difficult to create bike lanes affects pedestrians, cyclists AND drivers. I'm not a cyclist, but I believe that the province of Ontario has so many great cities that love bike lanes because they already know about their scientifically proven benefits of increasing safety, boosting economic growth, and Reducing traffic. I've seen the sea of traffic, and I know that many of these people would not be driving if they had better access to other options, transit would run smoother as well. Canada is on the world stage, but when it comes to our level of urban planning Ontario cities are regularly upstaged, not just by cities in Europe (easily dismissed) but other cities in Canada and north America. Keep the red tape out of our province and allow our city planners to do their jobs, bike lanes should be managed on a city by city basis, so that the city itself can make a comprehensive and effective plan of where the lanes will go.
