I believe this proposal is an innapropitae overreach of the provincial government on municipal matters. The provincial government needs to prioritize other more important issues such as health care and education rather than telling municipal governments whether they can or cannot build bike lanes. In addition, research has shown multiple times that building bike lanes will reduce traffic (also combat climate change and benefit people's health). Studies have shown multiple times that having more car lanes will not solve traffic. Cars are very inefficient at transporting people especially because most cars are occupied by only one person at a time thus taking up more space on the road. We need more sustainable modes of transportation to fix traffic and building more bike lanes is one such method. (And also investing more in public transportation)
