As a tax paying Ontarian who uses multiple methods of transportation throughout the city including driving, subway, and cycling, I vehemently oppose this bill as the evidence suggests that this in fact will not improve gridlock and may even increase it.

When cyclists are forced out of bike lanes and into shared traffic lanes, it slows everyone down and increases the risk of accidents. I find this bill to be extremely irresponsible and believe it will result in risks to safety.

Finally, I feel this bill is a gross overreach by the provincial government - as municipalities across Ontario have vastly different needs, cycling infrastructure and road use should be decided at the municipal level in order to attend to these demographic and structural differences.
