Bike lanes are relevant to the municipality in which they are located and the individuals who reside in said municipality. As such, the decision around bike lane installation and removal should be left to the municipal government and neighbourhoods affected should be engaged in the decision process. Ontario should stick to inter-city transportation decisions and not try to impede on city-specific decisions.

Furthermore, there should be a push toward increased use of bike lanes, ensuring this is a viable method of commuting by connecting bike lanes in various streets along commonly used routes. I would encourage the city to consider how bike lanes can be modified during the winter months when a natural shift toward alternative transportation methods occurs but keep the option available when the weather permits.
