This proposal is an absolute overreach of provincial government on what is clearly part of municipal jurisdiction.
More than that though, this proposal aims to make our roads even less safe by enacting further restrictions on municipalities. Since my city has installed bike lanes we have seen a reduction of accidents and an increase of safety. This means that the city is a safer place for my daughter where I can take her to daycare and school without being hit by a car. Where she can now play outside and bike downtown safely.
Three weeks ago a relative of mine was in a fatal bike accident because the lack of safe bike infrastructure in his city. This proposal aims to make that a grim reality for even more people. I am appalled that a government which claims to stand for family values would push forward an initiative to make Ontario less safe for our children.
