I think this is an extreme overreach by our government. Bike lanes are absolutely not the problem. I emplore our government to do research on what the issues actually are relating to traffic . Rather than what seems like an arbitrary decision? It has been proven time and again that additional roads, highways, and lanes absolutely do Not improve traffic where there was already lots of it.
Especially where I live in Waterloo region. Where the region has made astounding and incredible strides to make the city livable and easy to get around. This includes their constant additions of protected bike lanes all over the city. Does this remove lanes for cars? Sure, but in today's world, isn't that the point? Don't we want people to get out of their cars? People don't like driving, it's not a great way to get around. If we go forward with this bill, it will impact Waterloo region making their strides worthless.
Why should a bill that is so obviously intended for Toronto with no thought of other cities be pressed upon Ontario as a whole. Let the regions decide what is best for them. Don't push Torontos political will onto other cuties. Go out and look at Waterloo/Kitchener and decide if this bill makes any sense here.
