This is a terribly short…

This is a terribly short sited bill that will only make congestion worse. The impact of induced demand and it's inverse effect on congestion is well researched across hundreds of metropolitan areas like Toronto. Adding lanes for cars has a history of making traffic worse, not better, in the long term.

The only result from this Bill would be increasing the risk to bike riders (cyclists, bike commuters, casual riders) by forcing them onto roads with cars. If we truly want to achieve better congestion levels we need to provide MORE transit options that are safe and convenient, not less.

Please reconsider this bill as it will not achieve it's purported goal of reducing congestion. This is clearly a wedge issue bill to divide voters and rally Doug Ford's chances at re-election, not a bill that will actually help Ontario residents.
