Our last conversation of the month on bike lanes provided us with 2 key consensus statements:
- They want to prioritise removing paid parking instead of removing bike lanes
- The province paying to remove bike lanes may discourage local efforts for safer cycling.

We have wrapped up our first conversation on Bike Lanes, and the results are here.

- We had 46 total participants
- 82 statements were submitted
- 3 distinct groups were formed
