I strongly oppose Ontario’s proposal to restrict municipalities from implementing bike lanes by requiring provincial approval. Bike lanes are critical to promoting safe, sustainable transportation, reducing carbon emissions, and improving public health. Removing existing lanes of traffic to build bike infrastructure helps reduce congestion by encouraging active commuting and reducing car dependency. Provincial oversight will only introduce delays, stifle local decision-making, and undermine climate goals. Municipalities should be empowered to build bike lanes that reflect their communities’ needs and promote safer, more connected cities for all residents.
This is a ridiculous waste of my tax money, I want it to be used for things that benefit the population like investments into public health, housing, and opening the public transit project that had been delayed for an entire decade.
