The plan to override city planning on bike lanes has several issues.

1. It reduces the local democratic process. Local officials we elected by their local constituents and should not be overridden by a higher level of government. I think the Province of Ontario would have a big problem if the federal government decided to stop their projects

2. The local planners have the best knowledge of the local traffic conditions and have all the studies needed to make these decision on behalf of their citizens. If the local population doesn't like it, they can always remove the officials they don't like.

3. The clearly defined bike barriers adds more safety for cyclists
