This Bill flies in the face of all common sense, evidence-supported policy-making, and modern standards for street design, and It is yet more ideologically and politically motivated overreach by the province. It also wrongly demonizes cyclists, who have every right to safely use the roads as any driver.

Cars cause congestion. Most of them single-occupant and oversized vehicles – which are then left to sit idle in taxpayer-subsidized curbside parking! Look at any video of the Bloor Street bike lane and note how many cars are taking up a full lane just by being parked there, instead of in the abundant off-street parking.

This policy will kill and injure cyclists, just to score points with the government's rural PC base.
