This legislation as tamped…

This legislation as tamped is of grave concern to me and any resident of Toronto who is concerned with making this city a better place to live and work.

It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.
It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving. Wishing lanes ensures faster speeds. No one wants to live or spend time (and money) next to a highway.
It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.
It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.

Do not move us back. Be bold. Let's make the city one where reducing someone's commute in a comfy car by 5 minutes is not more important than vibrant communities.
