Local municipalities should oversee the safety of our streets, while the Ministry of Transportation focuses on highways and regional roads. We elect local representatives to make these decisions, not provincial MPPs. This law prioritizes efficiency over safety. Research (link below) shows that well-designed cycling infrastructure not only improves public health through increased physical activity but also significantly reduces traffic fatalities and injuries. The focus should be on making streets safer, not shaving two minutes off a commute in our densest city.
