Regarding bike lanes, please continue with the proposal for requiring municipalities to obtain permission to remove active traffic lanes and install bike lanes, and review recent bike lane installations. Bloor Street in Mississauga is an excellent example of why this legislation is reuired, as the city council is pushing adding bike lanes while there is huge community push back against the bike lane installations. This is not a way to address traffic gridlock and safety. Need for bike lanes should be evidence based, not fulfiling political attempts to gain 'points'.
Regarding Highway 413, the need for this needs to be evidence based, which appears to be lacking. Putting this 400 series highway through protected greenbelts is wrong on multiple levels.
Improving public transit so that it is a viable option will go far to solving the ever growing traffic gridlock crisis.
