This is incredible overreach…

This is incredible overreach from the provincial government. You do not have the authority to dictate to municipalities whether or not they install or have bicycle lanes. Unbelievable!

This government seems to forget that for every adult riding on a bike in a cycle lane, a car has been removed from the gridlock that you say you want to alleviate. Public transit obviously isn't solving the issue, which could be another option for you to pursue. Cars add to the pollution of our cities and it seems that you want the car to be the only way to move from point A to point B.

A healthy community provides the means for its citizens to enjoy recreational activities. Cycling is one of those. Providing a safe way to do so should be a priority. Bicycle lanes do that. They also allow for other ways to run errands or go to work. We also have a society that is becoming more and more sedentary, increasing health care costs as a result. Removing or preventing the addition of bicycle lanes is incredibly short-sighted.
