Bike infrastructure in a town? My province just made it illegal for any municipality nearly anywhere to build a bike lane.

Which province is that? Or at least what country

Ontario, Canada. The premier (similar to a governor) is over stepping cities, their elected officials, and betraying the people of Ontario. Years ago he ran for mayor of Toronto, Ontarios biggest city, they never elected him and now that he has provincial power he is throwing a temper tantrum. He also cut their city council in half for no justifiable reason. Toronto made significant progress and nearly had a functional bike network, now he is forcing the city to remove newly installed infrastructure.

But people still think his conservative government is "good with money."
