I vehemently oppose this proposal. Cycling infrastructure, even if it removes a lane of traffic or some parking, enhances vehicle flow by reducing the risk of collision or forcing mixed use of a lane. It encourages more people to cycle instead of driving, reduces the number of cars, and, as demonstrated worldwide, creates a better city atmosphere, increasing property values and making a city more livable.

This proposal should not look to make traveling by car "faster" but instead seek ways to reduce the number of cars on roads by encouraging other forms of transportation.

PS. Ford government says it's against government bloat, but proposes additional bureaucracy for municipalities to make improvements for their citizens.
