I'm not happy to hear about the province trying to get involved in municipal affairs. It seems like a waste of money and time, where it would instead make more sense to provide cities with guidance on how to best gauge whether biking infrastructure is right for them, how to standardize their biking infrastructure, etc. It especially doesn't make sense to make considerations on tearing out biking infrastructure that's already been put in place.

In addition, the decision to lump in legislation on highway construction alongside biking infrastructure feels like a masked way to sneak through construction without environmental concern or respecting the correct processes. As an average Ontario citizen who's lived here my whole life, it's pained me to see the Premier put so much effort suddenly into these projects, meanwhile train service across southern Ontario is still progressing as slowly as ever, as are the subway infrastructure efforts. We need to continue to focus on efforts that will truly address congestion and transportation issues which is to give Ontarians alternate transportation options, not build more highways.

Best regards.
