This proposal and its…

This proposal and its subsequent addendum go against literally every shred of empirical, quantitative evidence that exists - collected both in Canada and around the entire planet - that proves without a shadow of a doubt the efficacy of bike lanes not only in reducing traffic congestion, but increasing cyclist safety, positively impacting on the environment, improving personal health through physical activity, and even improving economic activity. In contrast, evidence shows that roads lacking bike infrastructure have worse traffic, worse travel times, and increase the likelihood of injury and death to cyclists and pedestrians alike.

To go forward with any of these plans would be an unequivocally egregious display of gross malpractice in governance, and this community will not tolerate it.
