This framework is backwards…

This framework is backwards. It would spend money that is needed to address other issues within the province to wage a fight on bike lanes. Bike lanes offer a car-free way of getting around cities without reliance on automobiles. The idea that the province meddles in municipal planning decisions on a street-by-street level of detail is a complete waste of time and an overreach of provincial jurisdiction. The province here has decided to impose car travel at every level unilaterally.

The idea that it might even be forced on cities to return vehicle lanes by removing already existing bike lanes is absurd. This is a complete waste of money, effort and makes roads less safe for everybody. (See "Based on the outcome of the review, a regulation could be made to require the removal of the bike lane and its return to a lane of traffic." in teh framework). This framework should not exist.
