There is no evidence that bike lanes cause congestion. In fact, studies show that bike lanes make the roads safer for all users...pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.

However, what bothers me even more about this legislation is that it takes away decision power from municipalities. Municipal councils and staff know their roads and their constituents. If they veer too far in one direction, their constituents can vote them out of office. I see no need for this provicial legislation other than political posturing and trying to create a rift between cyclists and motorists.

Please reconsider this legislation and allow municipalities to make their own deicisions about bikes lanes.
