This proposal stinks of ideological bias. There does not appear to be any serious attempt to conduct a review of expert advice on the impacts these decisions could have. Not to mention what it says about the independence (or lack thereof) that municipalities have on making decisions within their jurisdictions.

I can also tell you why there is nothing to back up the effectiveness of this proposal in attaining its goal: all experts agree that this type of move will only induce more motor vehicle traffic, negating any gains achieved. If you’re going to force something down municipalities throats, why not focus on something that actually has a tangible impact like congestion pricing?
