Adding new lanes and increasing roads have done nothing for this country except increase congestion and force millions of dollars into road repairs. Having bike lanes seperate from main roads with dividers increases safety for both the person in the vehicle and the rider, as it forces people to drive slower and bikes don't have to ride next to cars. Biking also provides a cheap alternative to driving. Poorer Canadians can't always afford to get a car, and removing a way to commute to work will make it even harder to aquire wealth. Public transit isn't always a viable option, as buses can get stuck in the same traffic as the rest of vehicles on the road.
