Removing bike lanes and…

Removing bike lanes and preventing the addition of new ones is a horrible idea. We need more dedicated bike lanes, preferably fully separated from motor vehicles. I'm primarily a car driver and only bike occasionally due to the lack of safe cycling infrastructure. But I'd rather drove on a single lane street with a bike lane than try to navigate a two lane street with bikes driving in the right lane and vehicles trying to pass the bike while allowing them their safe space. Then you've got the impatient drivers crowding from behind often unaware there's a cyclist present until they're right behind them. Thus setting up conditions for a vehicle-bike collision.
As a recent letter from the head of Beck Cabs lays out. Slow traffic on our streets is largely an issue of poor driving habits than lack of roads. The province needs to xrack down on poor driving behaviors, perhaps a mandatory traffic school for those charged as other jurisdictions mandate. Fines and even points are no deterrent to drivers with deep pockets. Add poorly compensated delivery drivers stopping wherever they please, rather than take the time to find a legal parking spot, in order to make as many deliveries as possible and you've brought city traffic to a standstill.
