I question the basis of…

I question the basis of evidence behind claims that prioritizing vehicular transportation of goods and people is the best route of infrastructure development for our province, during a pivotal time in climate history. I am in strong opposition of this bill, as written, and urge the government to refrain from putting it into legislation.

I would be in support of seeing a focus on improving and maintaining higher quality regional public transportation, as it would be in line with addressing traffic congestion and impact the quality of life of Ontarians.

Where is the focus on safety and the lives of all road users? A focus on just drivers is inherently unequal, unfair, and unjust.

I believe that the provincial government is overstepping it's jurisdiction by meddling in the municipal affairs of our elected city governments to the detriment of our citizens. I am deeply disturbed by the thought that the province would decide to remove high quality transportation infrastructure, especially in the face of clear evidence of it's benefit economically, environmentally, and socially. I believe removing provided cycling infrastructure also fundamentally impacts the ability to freely (and safely) move around our cities for our young people, those with disabilities, and those who can't drive.
