As a decades long Toronto citizen, I've never felt safer with separated bike lanes.

Modern cities with competently designed infrastructure understand that prioritizing cars on roads does not reduce gridlock.

Competent city planners have understood what induced demand is with respect to traffic since the 1970s.

The provincial government and partisan affairs has zero place meddling in city planning.

Introducing laws that override municipal needs to support garbage partisan hackery will result in wastes of millions of dollars unwinding progress and the death of cyclists.

It will also add burden to the transit and road networks as people stop feeling safe cycling and returning to alternative means.

The Ontario government has no business interfering with municipal affairs, and any laws introduced should explicitly stay arms length away from municipal affairs and only focus on the HIGHWAYS they discuss.

The provincial government should stay in their lane and focus on transit and highways and stay completely out of municipal affairs.
