This anti-bike lane bill is a tremendous and egregious waste of tax dollars that will only move Ontario backwards and undo decades of hard work. The removal of the key bike lane corridors (Bloor, Yonge, University) will be undoing the investments spent in building the bike lanes in the first place, spending more money to remove them, and then spending more money to build them somewhere else. This demonstrates a lack of care and complete fiscal irresponsibility. Furthermore, it will lead to the removal of essential transportation infrastructure, removing options from people to get around without the use of a car, reducing accessibility and forcing people to drive which will only increase congestion. It will put people's lives in danger, reducing the safety of some of the most vulnerable road users. It will also result in cars and bikes being forced mixing on the road without separated lanes, slowing down cars. It is a terrible overreach and abuse of power by this provincial government, who should be staying in their lane and focusing on key provincial projects, such as finally opening the overdue Eglinton Crosstown.
