As a regular commuter by bike this would negatively impact the safety of me and many other people who need to bike to live, creating a more unsafe environment for no benefit. Reducing the bike lanes will not reduce grid lock at all, it will just fill in with more traffic that moves just as slowly as it always has. The approval of bike lanes should be up to municipality not
The ministry. The municipality knows more about what the local community needs.

However this bill is mostly about building highway 413 that will be tolled like the 407 and will be underutilized just the same. The build highways faster act will atrociouly be exempted from the environmental assesment act. This will do untold damage to the environment bypassing nessisary environmental assessment. The damage done to the ecosystem will increase the frequency of floods, high winds, fires that will also increase insurance premiums for those that don't care about the environment as well. Will also allow the province to take land from the landowners with no option to change the possession date under the expropriation act, kicking people out whenever.

All this bill will accomplish is lining the pockets of Ford's specifically selected developers, and investors. Costing each tax payer hundreds potentially a thousand. This will not solve congestion at all.
