I cycle to get to work. I…

I cycle to get to work. I have 2 children and we rely on bike lanes to travel safely around the city. I strongly oppose this bill for the following reasons:
- It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
- It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s ownexperts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.
- It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving.
- It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.
-It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.

In short I see absolutely no benefit to this bill, only provincial overreach and a blatant disregard for the safety of me and my family.
