The provincial government…

The provincial government shouldn’t be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase transportation options. I use bike lanes every day and consider them essential transportation infrastructure like sidewalks. We need to think about guaranteeing safety and providing options for vulnerable road users, instead of just maximizing the number of cars on the road. When I drive I would much rather cyclists be out of the way in their own bike lanes. Bike lanes support transit investments by making it easier to get to stations. Public spaces should help facilitate safe human-scale transportation for all taxpayers. Removing existing infrastructure is terribly wasteful. We need more bike lanes not fewer.
