As a lifelong Torontonian who drives and cycles weekly, I find this legislation deeply troubling. Prioritizing highways over bike lanes makes our city less safe, sustainable, and livable. Bike lanes ease congestion, promote health, and support cleaner, cheaper commuting with bicycles and personal electric vehicles. Since their expansion, Toronto has become more accessible and safer for families and children. This bill, by delaying or politicizing bike lanes, risks undoing that progress while undermining local democracy with provincial overreach. Respectfully, the province should withdraw this bill and let cities manage what they know best.
