This has to be the worst legislation I have ever heard of. Why would the province need to insert itself into municipal affairs? Adding additional red tape, destroying built infrastructure, going with 'feelings over facts' and wasting my hard-earned money. This is the opposite of what conservatives used to stand for.
Let the local populations decide and vote for candidates who support or don't support bike lanes.
The Facts are as follows:
Bike Lanes Reduce Traffic

Bike lanes in major New York Arteries reduced the time for Car travel from 4.5 minutes to 3 minutes.
More bikes means less Cars:
Last year 5.7 Million people used Toronto Bike Share. That's 5.7 Million less car trips, reducing traffic and pollution.

I live in Bloor West I love my vibrant neighbourhood with people walking, shopping and biking. I do not want my street to be a thoroughfare like Jarvis. I want people to stop and enjoy the great shops and restaurants we have here. The facts support that better bike and pedestrian infrastructure benefits the local economy. :

Please get rid of this terrible legislation.
