This bill as it pertains to oversight of bicycle lanes (both their construction and removal) is an egregious overreach. The bill also fails to provide any framework for determining the viability of a bicycle lane, which is deeply concerning given that the anti-bike-lane rhetoric coming from this government is in direct opposition to the vast majority of global scientific study that has been done on the issue. Municipal governments are capable of applying city planning best practices in their jurisdictions, and this provincial overreach is a threat to the democratic process. The bicycle lane items must be removed from the bill.
