As a driver, just as I want…

As a driver, just as I want pedestrians to stay on the sidewalks, rather than be in the road, I want cyclists to be in the bike paths/lanes, rather than mixing with the rest of the cars. Having good bike infrastructure speeds up traffic for both cyclists and cars. I also enjoy biking, and would do it far more often if the bike network were more complete and safe. Why is the Government of Ontario trying to set up this red tape that prevents the cities from deciding what is best for them on a local level?
