I firmly reject the Implementation of this framework for bike lanes.

Fundamentally, it will put vulnerable road users at greater risk to injury and death, it will fail to accomplish the government's stated goal of reducing congestion and it will be an expensive and fiscally irresponsible framework that adds red tape to important municipal works.

Moreover, the government's stated concerns such as increased emergency vehicle response time isn't borne out by facts. The city of Toronto, and first responders have confirmed that emergency response times have actually improved with the installation of bike lanes.

Do not implement this framework.

It is dangerous, expensive, irresponsible and is a troubling overreach of the province into the affairs of municipalities.
