This bill is pointless. It won't reduce gridlock because all the people who can't bike any more would have to drive a car instead, so you're just increasing traffic.
It would also cost the government more to administer, or take tax dollars from more important programs to administer. The only other option is to not administer it at all, and prevent municipalities from creating infrastructure and services for thier own people, no matter how much it is wanted/needed, even by a huge majority. Which would be the antithesis of democracy.
It also doesn't get bikes out of the way of cars, because they both have to use the same infrastucture, instead of each having a place to be.
I'm not interested in paying more tax because of Ford's uneducated assumptions.
I'm not interested in more cars on the road.
I'm not interested in more conflict between bikes and cars.
It makes more sense to make a rule that every road, everywhere in the province must have the bike lanes painted on them. That way cars have a bike free path to drive everywhere. Bikes have a car-free space to themselves and don't have to worry about conflict. More people would bike then, and there would be fewer cars in the car lanes, and with fewer cars there would be less gridlock.
(I don't think the present bike lane structure is ideal, but I think automically painting the bike lanes every road would solve a lot of problems).
