I am completely opposed to this bill. Multiple studies (including our own internal government documents) have shown that building more highways does not reduce traffic, they just allow for more cars on the road. We are going to waste billions of dollars on a project that will negatively impact our environment and agricultural sector. If we want to reduce traffic and put money into our cities and infrastructure, put that money into desperately needed public transit improvements.

I'm also opposed to the proposal to bypass important checks and balances before projects, including environmental assessments. These are in place to protect people and our environments and I see no reason why we would want to make any of our projects exempt to processes that have been put in place for our protection.

Finally leave the bike lanes alone. The time, money and traffic you'll cause with construction to pull them out is ridiculous. Pulling bike lanes just makes it more dangerous for bikers and drivers, plus cities are reporting that emergency service response times have improved in areas with bike lanes, not the opposite.
