The only proven way of reducing car traffic in Ontario, is by providing the residents of Ontario viable alternatives to cars.
Not only is this bill a blatant example of government overreach, but it will actively worsen traffic, first by having construction equipment occupy lanes of traffic to remove bike lanes, but also by inducing the demand of cars on the municipal roads. You have now increased gidlocks, and increased time for Ontario citizens - the literal antithesis of this bill.
Furthermore, a situation that actively delays the implementation of other modes of transport for residents of a municipality leads to increased costs for both the municipality and the province, when such costs can go to maintaining and improving provincial highways, to ensure faster commute times for Ontarians.
This bill will add more red tape, endager peoples lives and livelihoods, and ultimately, cost some MPPs their seats come the next election.
