This bill is such a backwards look at how a modern society should be progressing. There is so much published evidence counter to this idea that has been ignored by the Premier. Providing safe alternatives to driving and on routes frequented by cyclists is the way forward. Look at Paris, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Montreal. Surprise, many of these are “winter” cities. Simply because a bike lane may, or likely may not, impact the Premier’s commute is not the way to make choices about infrastructure. It is not even in the Province’s best interest to meddle in municipal matters to the point of forbidding cyclists safe passage and a right not to die.

I urge the government and MPPs to quash this bill before it even comes to a vote, and if it must come to a vote, vote with your children and grandchildren in line as they try to navigate these streets where safe cycling infrastructure will be prevented or even removed because of one Man’s opinion on his commute in a large SUV.
