I object to any plan to rip up existing bicycle lanes. It is wasteful of our taxes to spend money to remove infrastructure that is an improving our lives. The bicycle lanes in Ottawa and Toronto were installed following careful review and detailed planning. The money to rip up bicycle lanes and to compensate the cities for the money already spent to plan and install these lanes could better be spent on health care of education.

I also object to the province meddling with the municipal planning process for new or existing bicycle lanes. Studies show they add mere minutes to commuting time and force cars to pay attention to the rules of the road. There is far too much speeding by cars on our roads.
