Comment
The introduction of this Bill is an asinine use of taxpayer money and represents a gross overreach of provincial power. The province should not be micromanaging transportation issues on the municipal level which are confined to said municipality. Taxpayers do not want to see the conservative government squandering away time and resources to oversee bike lanes. These are issues which are meant to be addressed by municipal governments.
Bike lanes increase safety within the city and ensure that bikes DO NOT impede traffic. The suggestion to remove these bike lanes or impede their construction is counterintuitive. Without them, bikes will be in live lanes with cars and have the right to take up the full lane which will result in further delays with the addition of safety concerns.
The provinces time and taxpayer money is better spent addressing transportation issues which affect the province as a whole. Rather than micromanaging Toronto to “reduce” the Premier's commute time.
