I am extremely against this Bill. It limits people's option for travel and is detrimental to road safety. It is short-sighted and regressive in nature. Cities around the world are moving towards implementing bike lanes will real results and this Conservative government is moving backwards in time. Induced demand by adding lanes for car traffic is proven to increase travel times. This has been studied for decades and proven time and time again. Connect the bicycle network and let it actually work. Piecemeal solutions never work. This bill caters towards a minority of residents that want to maintain the status quo. Toronto is changing, and our infrastructure has to change with it. I am an Urban Planning professional, car driver, transit user and cyclist. Toronto should be evolving, not regressing. Stop this bill immediately. It is not popular amongst the majority of people.
