Ontario's roadways and their over-accommodation of dangerous, high-speed traffic are already killing hundreds of people each year. Elected representatives in cities are making common-sense decisions to make streets safer and more inclusive, including by creating more separated bike lanes and reducing car lanes where it's appropriate. I do not trust the province to make safe transportation decisions for anyone while their guidelines for where bikes belong includes in busy left-turn lanes of 70 km/h, four-lane roads. Cities are making transportation networks with separate infrastructure for different modes of transportation, and this legislation threatens to set our cities back decades, to cause more traffic deaths and injuries, and further separate us from our neighbours and communities.
