This proposed framework is…

This proposed framework is reactionary and rooted in the counterfactual. It is insulting to the Province's workforce of transportation professionals who understand how transportation networks operate. It is insulting to municipalities, who have worked hard to establish their own context-sensitive approach to providing mobility for their residents. And it's insulting to any semblance of equity - to limit safety for residents who want to bike or walk to prioritize the movement of regional drivers and their convenience.

I urge the Minister to reflect on his own actions and not make municipalities and city residents bear the burden of his poor decision to drive to Queen's Park every day. I urge the Minister to reflect on why he chooses not to take GO Transit, a part of his own portfolio. I urge the Minister to reflect on the thousands of residents who take transit, walk, and bike. I urge the Minister to reflect on the negative external impacts of his actions, and frankly his selfishness.

This is undemocratic, going against municipal decision-making. And frankly, this framework is wrong and will not alleviate congestion. More people will die on our roads. So you can drive to Queen's Park (not any faster, as we know bike lanes do not increase congestion.) Please consult with experts in this area.
