This goes against common ideological principles as well as plain old sense.

1) increased bureaucracy and government expenditure. Conservatives are suppose to reduce government and bureaucracy versus increasing and accelerating it? This legislations looks to greatly increase provincial duties and would lead to higher spend and government official count

2) decision making data, support, and criteria. It is not clear the province is better informed and/or has better quality and quantity of data compared to local municipalities on making an objective decision at a micro-municipal level.

3) traffic flow during removal. Removing bike lanes would further impede traffic for extended periods of time, adding to drivers’ gridlock
