The provincial government is…

The provincial government is overstepping with this proposed legislation and is solving a Toronto problem with a province-wide solution. Other municipalities should be able to make their own autonomous decisions without all of this ridiculous red tape. This bill will maybe save drivers one or two minutes at the cost of cyclists lives, which to me is a ridiculous tradeoff. Studies show that even on the specific examples the Premier has complained about, incidents involving cyclist injuries have decreased with marginal increases to commute times.

This bill also hurts small businesses, something the Premier should be supporting, as increases in cycling has been shown to increase visits to small businesses.

Instead of focusing on culture war issues, please focus on actual solutions for Ontarian such as better public transit, improved signal timings, and take a page out of other jurisdictions' books and prioritize livable and walkable cities to reduce the need for massive commutes in the first place.
