The government of Ontario…

The government of Ontario making it more difficult for cities to build bike lanes is a backwards move. I believe that it wastes time and effort on something nobody wants to be changed. Bike lanes make it easier and safer for people wishing to commute and get around via bike, and making it more difficult for cities to introduce more of them is making fundamental safety and ease of use more difficult to attain. The time spent on this idea would be better used to undo the action of placing beer in convenience stores and fixing all the massive issues that are currently going on in Ontario's healthcare and education system. I believe having to have provincial government approval to create more bike lanes does the opposite of the claim this bill says it's trying to do - having more bike lanes makes it easier to get around on a bike therefore reducing congestion and saving time for both people in cars and on bikes. At the same time, bikes are far cheaper than cars so people wishing to save money by riding their bike should not have a more difficult and dangerous time because just adding more lanes to things does not reduce traffic and gridlock.
