This is a very bad and backward proposed Act, from the perspective of a car driver and from the perspective of GOVERNANCE. I also note that no links are provided to any studies or evidence that support the proposal.
— First of all, LEAVE TOWNS and CITIES to make their own decisions. The province has no business butting in, uninvited, to areas of town/city/municipal jurisdiction (the province sure doesn’t like it when it perceives that the federal government it trying to involve itself in provincial areas of responsibility).
— You are unnecessarily INCREASING BUREAUCRATIC PROCESSES and taking TAXPAYERS’ MONEY by creating new processes. Towns and cities which are already apparently struggling financially would have to use resources to apply to the province's new requirements, or they would have to use their resources when compelled by the province to send it information [seriously?] and the province will also have to dedicate new resources to set up its new policies and review process. What a WASTE OF MONEY.
— This will SLOW car/truck traffic! Reducing dedicated bicycle lanes in towns and cities will push bicycles INTO car lanes. In my experience, a bicyclist without a dedicated lane must take the middle of the lane to avoid being “car-doored” and to prevent some drivers (most are very considerate) making dangerous passes (which usually just gets them to the next red light a little faster).
— This will also SLOW car/truck traffic because it may INCREASE the use of cars. Dedicated and safe bicycle lanes increase the use of bicycles for transportation and reduce the number of people in cars.
— This may INCREASE hospital care costs and demands on hospitals due to increased bicycle - car/truck collisions.
