Comment
This proposed bill is an overreach on part of the province and would be a colossal waste of taxpayer funds and time should it be approved. To suggest the removal of the targeted bike lanes would be an unnecessary step backwards and would no doubt pose serious safety risk for bike users who rely on the existing bike network. I myself rely on the Bloor street bike network to get around the city and to access and support small businesses along the network - for which I'm sure it would have a negative impact. I believe this should be stopped and that the province shouexplore other options, such as diverting funds to support (and actually complete) the development of public transit infrastructure; which would get people out of cars and actually reduce congestion. This bill makes no sense- especially given the absence of concrete and relevant empirical data for which to support this proposed legislation. I hope the provincial government reconsiders.
