The city of Brantford has modified several streets from four-lane to two-lane with space for bike lanes and parking. This reduction of lanes for cars has worked well, in my opinion as a school bus driver, car driver, and occasional cyclist. Cars are less likely to exceed the speed limit, bicycles have a safe space, and no increase has been noted in slowdowns.
I believe the creation of bike lanes should be a municipal matter, much better decided by local councillors than by mandates from the province. If the provincial government feels a need to be involved in local city matters, it should create a forum for communication and consultation rather than a set of rules and regulations. Surely the provincial government should be spending time and energy on matters that interest the citizens of Ontario, not just the citizens of Toronto.
