This is government overreach, plain and simple. When it came to the Federal government of allowing fourplexes provincewide, Ford refused saying "It's not up to the province to dictate where every single building is going to go" and "I believe in letting municipalities determine what is good for their communities and what is not good for their communities." While upsetting, I do believe in giving the cities their say before the province, even if I disagree.

Yet when it comes to bike lanes, he's allowed to sidestep us and tell us how to design our roadways? Get out of Toronto and actually work on provincial matters like our Healthcare and Education (There's a lot to fix fyi). If this bill goes through I demand Federal Government intervention and I better not hear a peep from Ford about over-reaching.

OUR property taxes paid for those roads. WE determine how the roads are designed. Unless Ford is willing to cough up money for expansions and work with OUR elected mayor to give more room, stop this nonsense.

This bill doesn't even solve gridlock! Too many cars will cause gridlock, that's it. Traffic was already a thing before the bike lanes, and as our population grows, more and more drivers will jam OUR roads. Congestion is not a new science, listen to the experts and real-world examples from other cities trying to solve this.

We want a commute for drivers, bikers, public transit, and pedestrians. We are all tax payers and deserve a fair share of the pathway. Disregarding everyone but drivers is how you make traffic worse.
