The addition of bike lanes…

The addition of bike lanes within a city or town is not the reason for traffic on highways where there are no bike lanes. To suggest that the city of Toronto should need provincial approval for bike lanes WITHIN the city is absurd and completely ignores the impact on the 2.7 million people that live in the city and have voted for municipal representation to decide these things. In addition, bike lanes are an inherent good for the city. More business access by options other than cars increases business. As well, commuting by car is faster when there are reliable alternatives to driving so that not everyone has to drive. Please don’t implement this bill and subject the city to the will of suburban and rural Ontarians who won’t see the detriments.
