As an Ontario resident, I am writing to voice my absoulte opposition to this bill for the following reasons:
-While not a bike user myself, bike lanes have been shown over and ovwr again to actually reduce traffic instead of increasing it.
- The "One more lane" argument that this bill seems to be channeling has always been proven to ease congestion temporarily while inducing more traffic long term
- Bike lanes on bloor and university are always filled with users (especially at rush hour)

On a second hand

- This bill seems very heavy handed, especially when the city of Toronto had an election were hike lanes were a main issue, the overwhealming majority of people voted for the candidate who wanted to keep bike lanes.
This bill seems to ignore the will of the people most affected by this issue

- It is quite insulting to me as an Ontarian to see my premier ignoring the healthcare, and fake diploma mill, homeless crises in the province and focus on bike lanes as his priority

- The fact that province can just ignore the will of the people, and claw back jurisdiction from municipalities on a whim without recourse seems like a very dangerous issue to me
