I am deeply opposed to this legislation on a number of grounds. First, this legislation is a waste of government resources and tax payer money. Ontarians do not need or want this amount of red tape for projects that can and should be decided on a local level. It is likewise a waste of resources to remove existing bike lanes. Second, bike lanes are one of the best safety measures for both drivers and cyclists. As someone who commutes by both bike and car depending on weather or mood, bike lanes will benefit me either way. As a diver I want cyclists safely out of my way, and as a cyclist I would like to be safe away from cars. Third, I am opposed to the fact that bike lanes have become such a partisan talking point rather than a good city planning decision based on research and data.
