Please do not pass this bill. Countless studies have proven that increased vehicle lanes do NOT decrease congestion on roads. We need to provide safe and effective alternatives to personal vehicles if we aim to reduce traffic and improve quality of life. Having dedicated bike lanes incentivizes reduced car usage and saves lives. Also, studies have shown economic benefits to shops along roads with bicycle infrastructure.
We are in a climate crisis that comes with significant economic and health impacts. This bill would cost the province money, endanger cyclists and fail to achieve its goal of reducing congestion, while also undermining sustainable measures in cities.
