How does this act actually accomplish eliminating gridlock on Hwy 400, Hwy 401 or DCP (Don Valley Parkway) by eliminating local decisions about bike lanes?
simple answer it does not - current studies show that bike lanes improve a city & town's traffic patterns.
Bike lanes make cities/towns more enjoyable to live and visit.
For a govt that claims to listen to the people - bike lanes and roads inside a city/town are the responsibility of the local govt and their citizens yet the Ford Govt is taking away people's choices and giving it to non-voters (people who live outside the municipality).
Stop wasting money - study after study shows us that active transportation makes healthier air for citizens to breathe, keeps people active and makes it safe. Wider roads means that people speed and do not take proactive measures to ensure that they drive safely.
