Comment
This Act is based on flawed and faulty assumptions that blame bike lanes for heavy traffic in Ontario. Traffic experts have been demonstrating that induced demand is the real issue, combined with systematic delays and underfunding of public transit systems.
This Act is designed to appeal to a base of Conservative Party voters who do not see the public benefit of cycling as a form of transportation and as a result will respond positively during the next election to the PC party of Ontario.
This Act ignores the benefits that cycling brings to urban residents through better health, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lowered noise levels, and better mental health.
