I respectfully ask the provincial government to stay in their lane on this issue, but perhaps require municipal planning policies to follow a “best practices” model, based on the significant real world data collected re: bike lanes and effects on traffic throughout urban areas of various populations.

Many examples of poorly planned projects exist throughout Ontario, and I feel a “best practices” based guiding set of principles would serve taxpayers and active transportation users far better than they currently are.
