Ripping out existing bike…

Ripping out existing bike lanes so that cars and trucks will have more lanes for so called easing congestion is a waste of taxpayer's money! It is often more expensive to rip out bike lanes than it is to build good biking infrastrucure. Instead of spending money on ripping out existing bikes lanes, the money could be better spent on housing, health care, education or improving access to public transit.

I feel the province is overreaching with this draconian law. Local infrastructure should remain with municipalities as they are closer to the people and communities that they serve. Provincial government should but out.

Provincial governments do not like when the federal government overrides their jurisdiction and interferes with provincial responsibilities. The same goes for municipalities, they do not like it when the provincial governments override their jurisdiction and interfere with municipalities responsibilities.
