There is no way this bill…

There is no way this bill should pass as it stands now. The only real way to actually solve the issue of too many cars on the road causing traffic issues is to reduce the number of cars on the road. By having things bike lanes, more affordable public transit, and a rail system throughout the province.

We don't need more highways (especially plowed through vulnerable land). Accidents would be reduced by less vehicles on the road, not by allowing more places (lanes) for them to happen in.

Tying in bringing broadband access to rural communities on this bill is also seems exploitative (in a "we'll do this for you only if.." type of way).

This bill also reeks of governmental overreach. You require municipalities to petition the provincial government to change roads within there own boundaries. How is this productive, how does this save money, time, or resources?

I thought that conservatives were supposed to stand for things like small government (not interfering with city planning at the provincial level) and actually you know, conserving the environment.
