There are so many studies…

There are so many studies done that debunk the claims being made by the Transport Minister and Premiere, that it's insulting to everyone in Ontario that this is even being considered. Not only is it a massive overreach by the province into municipal affairs. Maybe instead of trying to distract people with wedge issues like this, the provincial government that is famously known wasting money on terrible and unnecessary things could put some of those funds towards ideas that can actually help resolve gridlock and saving people time. This means getting trucks off the 401 by subsidizing their 407 bills, getting two-way all day rail lines up and running as soon as possible, investing in transit systems, and allowing for gentle density housing.

The idea you can just push cyclists onto side streets is absurd. In my city, the only ways to get around is on the major roads because of river crossings. Does the Premiere intend to fund cities across the province with millions, if not billions of dollars to build the province proper cycling infrastructure and pedestrian bridges to keep us off these major arteries? I wouldn't count on it!

Until Doug Ford makes cycling illegal (which honestly wouldn't shock me at this point) cyclists should exercise their rights and claim lanes as needed; all this legislation will do is slow down traffic and create more gridlock, and people will have no one to blame but an out of touch provincial government that ran out ideas a long time ago.

This is a full blown collapse of forward thinking for infrastructure planning, and anyone involved should be embarrassed that they even tried putting this legislation forward.
