This proposal is entirely contrary to the data. Study after study has shown that protected bicycle lanes not only save cyclists’s lives, but help to reduce traffic congestion and increase safety for all road users. They also help to increase sales for businesses along routes where the bike lanes run.
The proposal is also anti-democratic. The Provincial Government should focus on solving the problems only it can solve, such as fixing health care. Leave municipalities alone to solve the local problems we have elected them to solve.
In one way only bike lanes are like car lanes. The more of them you build the more they will fill up. You won’t solve traffic congestion by building more lanes or more highways, because they will fill up and become congested almost as soon as you build them. But when the bike lanes fill up, those riders won’t be in cars polluting the atmosphere and clogging the roads.
