This proposal is utterly ridiculous. The province is not best positioned to understand the needs of individual communities. This is gross overstepping of provincial power. We elect municipal government to determine local needs. In the case of removing bike lanes, these lanes were purchased by local taxes. How dare the provincial govt waste hard earned tax dollars. This is a preposterous waste. Let the people locally determine what they believe is the right solution for their area.
In terms of environment, we should be PROMOTING non-gas powered forms of transportation. More bike lanes, not less. I have been to Amsterdam. Stunning infrastructure for bikes. Children bike to school. No school buses, even in rural areas.
Instead of law, perhaps consider guidelines for consideration when new lanes are implemented. Look to solutions such as implemented in UK.
If Toronto is having traffic troubles, let TORONTO deal with it. Leave the rest of Ontario alone.
