I am deeply concerned and critical of the province's proposal in Bill 212 , to prevent new bike lanes and even REMOVE existing bike lanes that require the removal of a traffic lane. This is provincial overreach and will not help congestion.

Around the globe, large cities are adding bike lanes and removing roads. This results in a cleaner and more pleasant city for people to visit, it increases business, it increases people's health, it increases the planets health and it REDUCES congestion. As more bike lanes are added and connected, more people cycle. Every bike that is in a bike lane, is a car that is not driving on the roads. Putting bike lanes on quiet side streets does not help promote commuting by bike. If it did, then the cars would use those roads.

While you are at it, promote more public transportation, that is another great way to reduce congestion.
