Comment
I am strongly opposed to the policy behind this Bill and the Bill itself.
The Government may think this is politically smart but surely the advice they are receiving from officials and feedback from the public is that this is bad public policy for the following reasons:
Removing bike lanes is dangerous - more cyclists will get hurt or die. I speak from experience. I am a daily commuter cyclist in Ottawa
Research has repeatedly shown that widening roads makes congestion worse
We need to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, and encouraging people to bike is an important part of this reduction
Removing bike lanes is a waste of taxpayers money, and businesses will also suffer from reduced traffic
Ontarians need more options to get around, not fewer
The Province shouldn’t meddle in decisions best made by municipalities
Thank you.
