So far, Quebec is the only Canadian province that has updated its legislation to allow wheelchairs and mobility scooters on bike and roll routes and low-speed roads.
I’m sorry, but I’m pretty sure that most wheelchairs and mobility scooters aren’t designed to handle going at 20km/h+ for long distances. Not to mention that they’re wider than bikes.
This is horribly naïve and is just turning bike lanes into extended sidewalks because someone doesn’t want to walk around disabled people. Instead, make sure that sidewalks are wide enough for people to walk anything wider than single file. Side walks and bike lanes are only a fraction the cost of normal roads, support far more people, and increase local businesses because a car’s not gonna park every two blocks to buy a coffee then a single t-shirt, then a new notebook before going to work, but pedestrians and cyclists can and do easily do this.
