This act is a gross overstep of Provincial powers on what are Municipal responsibilities and autonomy. The province should be focused on dealing with it's own responsibilities instead of adding additional red tape on Municipal decision making.

Ontario is more than just Toronto and this bill is clearly targeted at a specific section of roads that have been come the center of a growing culture war between suburbanites and urbanites. This bill ignores the growing set of data that identifies that less cars on the road reduces congestion and environmental impact. Not to mention the increased risk of cyclists and pedestrians when traffic calming techniques are removed for favor of more cars and higher speed roads.
