This shortsighted bill will worsen traffic, degrade the environment, and takes decisions out of the hands of those who know their communities best: local representatives elected to serve their constituents. Please stop this bill.

In more detail, looking at the claimed goals of the bill":

"get people and goods out of gridlock"
This is best done by encouraging walking, cycling, and public transit, which move people in a far more space-efficient manner.

"accidents and lane closures can worsen traffic congestion and impact the quality of life of Ontarians"
I agree. So help reduce the number of accidents by focusing on safer transportation modes than personal vehicles, and giving cyclists safe places to ride.
