This bill unfairly targets…

This bill unfairly targets low-income wage earners and commuters by reducing marginal and un-protected road space for the minimal benefit of larger vehicles that are too often the root cause of traffic gridlock. Removing cycling lanes will put Ontario citizens who commute by bicycle at even greater risk by forcing them to ride amongst dense urban traffic.
Cycling lanes have been proven to be of great financial benefit to small Ontario businesses, allowing people to travel easily between destinations without having to worry about the hassle of parking.
This bill also bypasses important infrastructure project development processes such as environmental studies, a decision that most likely will result in long-term negative impact environmentally and economically. Without proper infrastructure research and development, Ontario risks an unsteady and potentially costly future for many, for short term financial gains for few.
