I don't understand how this…

I don't understand how this will save me time. I use my bike for transportation (not just recreation). By discouraging the creation of bike lanes, this bill will put me at greater risk AND will force me to drive out on car lanes where I actually WILL interfere with traffic. If you want cyclists like me out of the way of traffic, you should be creating MORE bike lanes not fewer!

If you want to address gridlock, you should be encouraging the full range of transportation options to that fewer people take their cars everywhere. Cars cause gridlock, not bikes or bike lanes.

I also don't understand why a municipality should require Ministry permission to build bike lanes. I thought this government was against red tape!?

Is this just some kind of cheap political stunt to get commuters in the 905 to vote PC? I hope it backfires! It has certainly got me more curious about provincial politics.
