I want to comment on several wrongdoings that will be caused by this bill to be passed. First of all the distraction: Bike lanes. Removing them will not improve the gridlock traffic in Toronto. If you remove the bike lanes on the major streets like Yonge and Bloor then those spots will just be occupied by delivery trucks with their four way flashers on. Also, the majority of gridlock traffic is caused by construction projects in the city that are never ending. You have the major condo construction on Bloor and Yonge that requires traffic to be stopped throughout the day for several dump trucks to come in and out, there is the accessibility construction of Museum station that is causing the issues on Queen's Parkway, and in general along other major roads there are more condos going up or improvements to the city. Secondly the part of the bill that wants to make it easier for Doug Ford to expropriate farmer's land easier and remove environmental protections in order to build highways so his developer friends can build more condos. Shame on you. What legacy do you want to leave to our future living in Ontario where we rip up good farm land for roads and buildings making us more reliant on importing food from other countries. Do you think that will get cheaper with the rising costs? We need to protect the farm land in Ontario. We also need to protect our wildlife in Ontario because the more unique species that become extinct the greater loss we have to our overall ecosystem.
