The proposed legislation…

The proposed legislation seems to aim to increase gridlock. Some people who currently get around by bike will be forced into cars resulting in more cars on the road and more gridlock. How are legislators still confused by this?
Why are politicians, who are in theory supposed to represent the people of Toronto, working so hard to make the city worse? This legislation seems to aim for louder, more dangerous, more polluted streets with fewer pedestrians and significantly less business activity. I thought elected representatives are supposed to try to improve the lives of the people they represent, not make them more frustrated, less healthy and poorer.
How is incentivizing more car travel a responsible policy? You are taking options away from people. I thought the government is for less regulation and more freedom of choice. Now the goal is building in heavy-handed additional layers of politburo-style red tape? What on earth is going on here?
Honestly, this proposal is the exact opposite of what Toronto needs. And it's not like it is difficult to find resources about how to improve a city. Hint: more car dependence is NOT THE SOLUTION. This type of proposal is an indication of deliberate hostility to the people of Toronto, willful ignorance or utter stupidity.
The fact that this is still a discussion is actually an embarrassment to the province of Ontario. Every major street should have a bike lane. This is honestly exhausting. You have already been told the answer for decades.
