Not only is this a ridiculous waste of time, resources, and money by the provincial government but puts cyclists in Ontario at risk.
The premier has been using dangerous rhetoric towards cyclists and has been completely ignoring multiple studies that have come to the conclusion that the addition of a bike lane on a street does not worsen traffic. They also do not block vehicle lanes for emergency vehicles as the Toronto Fire chief has stated.
The provincial government should be focusing on ways to make people more comfortable using public transit, walking, or cycling in cities to discourage driving.
On top of lightening traffic, they reduce emmisioms and have been proven to give businesses an uptick in activity.
I hope no more time is wasted on this absurd bill, there are 1000’s of Ontario residents living on the streets and it disgusts me to see the province spending money to remove and fight municipalities on something that is a positive.
