This project is a gross misuse of public funds. We should absolutely not be wasting money to remove existing, useful infrastructure (bike lanes on Yonge, Bloor, and University).
There is also absolutely no reason for the province to have a say over municipal bike lanes, that doesn't make sense and is a complete overreach. Municipalities are best placed to determine where bike lanes should go.
Building any city for cars is a backwards step. Building more roads doesn't solve the congestion problem created by cars, it just encourages more people to be in their cars and adds to the congestion. We need to be investing in alternatives like bikes and public transit, to allow people to get out of their cars and reduce congestion on the roads. People feel like they have to drive because they don't feel comfortable biking or taking transit. So make biking and transit appealing options by improving these services! It's so obvious.
This bill makes absolutely no sense, is a complete waste of money and has no evidence backing it. More cars is not the answer.
