I am not convinced that this bill will save us any time. Instead of cracking down on alternative modes of transport, how about restricting NIMBY traffic measures like speed bumps and 30km/h zones like on King Edward Ave in Ottawa . As a driver these are more problematic to me than missing lanes that are usually blocked by delivery vehicules anyway.

As a cyclist, the most important thing to me is a continuous corridor that flows with traffic. Being raised or separated might make some people feel safe, but that is a false sense of security. It makes them more difficult to see as a driver and those lanes are often designed to stop at every intersection when car traffic keeps flowing. In the end, regardless of whether I'm in my car or on my bike, it's the stop and go that makes things go slow

Treat bikes the same as you would cars. When I ride my bike it's to avoid traffic. Stopping and getting back up to speed makes this less efficient. Scenic indirect routes that attract walkers and runners make this less efficient.

Let's focus on the efficiency. Having good, efficient alternative bike infrastructure is the way to make this happen.
