The policy has not been…

The policy has not been thought through in all its dimensions. The plan may have some unintended consequences: removing bike lanes will mean pushing cyclists onto the roadway and sharing the road with cars - this could slow down traffic even more. Recall the 90's when bike couriers and other commuters shared the road because there were no lanes, and bike are considered vehicles on our roadways.

If bike lanes are removed, I imagine that I and others on bikes will be on the roadways, joined by e- bikes and other e-vehicles - think through what this will mean for the speed of car-traffic and safety for all.

The Bill is remiss in its consideration of safety and environmental impact. Inevitably, more people will be injured and killed if they are forced to share the road on bikes and e-vehicles. The number of cars on the road will grow, and the environmental impact of those cars will also grow.
