Everything about the Bill is braindead. Incentivizing other forms of transit (like bicycles and public transit) is the only data driven method for reducing congestion. Anyone who says that they can reduce gridlock by simply removing bike lanes that they (almost exclusively drivers) don't like is either ignorant of the mountains of research that exists, lying through their teeth, or just pandering for votes. Every Ontario citizen would agree that traffic congestion needs to be addressed. Why don't we dispense with the BS and actually explore data driven solutions (eg. incentivizing people to use alternative and more efficient modes of travel, like public transit) that will actually address the problem. I'm sick of politicians who only offer rage and lies as remedies for real problems.
Additionally, this is a ridiculous example of Provincial overreach. If the Premier wants to design Toronto's streets so much, why doesn't he try running for mayor. Leave the design of local streets to the municipalities.
