This bill is a terrible idea…

This bill is a terrible idea. The urban planners already look at the data to ensure a bike lane is a good fit. Please don't additional red tape to the creation of bike lanes. I live in Ottawa and the way I beat traffic congestion on my commute is to bike to my office. Bike lanes make my commute safer and are essential to an efficient transportation network. Congestion is eased with alternative options to the car, such as transit and bikes. The province should support these alternative options with funding and less red tape.

My children regularly use bike lanes to get to and from their activities. For my family, good bike lanes mean we don't have to drive to an activity as the kids can safely get there without a parent driving them. Bike lanes also enhance the safety of pedestrians.
