It is unacceptable for the provincial government to insert itself into municipal decisions in this way. Residents of this province deserve to have input and control over the management of their local cities and towns. These decisions, including pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, must remain in the hands of local residents and their elected councils.
I understand that the MPs in this government are mainly focused on the roads and streets in Toronto because the traffic situation there is untenable. But BIKE LANES DO NOT CAUSE CONGESTION. The cyclists who use those lanes are not driving and causing more congestion. If anything, Toronto should build more bike lanes, more transit and give people more options to travel without a personal vehicle.
But this government knows this. This government has the studies and evidence that show this to be true. Instead of funding more and quicker solutions to traffic, this government is deciding to go backwards and devolve to 1950s solutions that didn't work.
Please STAY IN YOUR LANE and stay out of municipal decision-making.
