This is an absolutely horrifying proposal - not only has it been proven that more cyclists on the road alleviates gridlock more effectively than adding by car space, this is an affront to the autonomy of municipalities. The people who know and understand the needs of their towns and cities are the ones on the ground, not a provincial overseer far removed. As we face a climate crisis, the idea of removing the ability for people to circulate efficiently and safely without adding to our heavy carbon output is foolish. I urge you to consider the safety of people who bicycle (and will continue to bicycle!) beyond the mere annoyance of traffic. Improvements to our public transit and cycling networks would serve this province far better than ineffective measures aimed at getting more cars on the road.
