I am concerned that this proposal will lead to my kids will not have a safe (and healthy) way to get around town since municipalities are slowed down by the additional approval process (195.2 "Ministry approval for bicycle lanes required"). Additionally, it is not clear to me that removal of a few lanes will lead to higher traffic overall since there are plenty of alternate streets (e.g. when a street is closed due to maintenance traffic simple goes around). Will the Ministry of Transportation consider
- automatic approval of designs approved if the Ministry of Transportation has not made a decision on them after a duration (say 1 month) has passed once municipalities have submitted designs to the Ministry of Transportation, or
- lowering the driving age to 14 (as it has been in the past in other provinces), or
- removing this section from the proposal?
