This proposal would bring more provincial "big government" control to local municipalities, impeding their ability to decide what works for their communities. The focus on "Ontario Drivers" should be on Ontarians at large. Studies have proven the bike lanes increase business to communities and create infrastructure to move people (both drivers and cyclists) more safely. But more importantly, municipalities should be free to make these choices on their own. Allowing the province to meddle with the needs of municipalities will impede their ability to make their own decisions and bog the province down with more bureaucracy (throwing them into issues they don't have the capacity to understand the full scope of), taking their focus away from critical provincial issues.
