As a Tax Payer, Driver and Cyclist in Ontario, I an very concerned with this proposed legislation and the negative impacts it will have on the progress that has been made to date on integrating greater cycling infrastructure into the Ontario road system.

This current governments bias for car access to the road systems runs in conflict to the global understanding that individual automotive transport is destructive to our environment and future. Adding automotive infrastructure only adds to volume and gridlock.

The Ontario government needs to direct a higher percentage of the transport budget away from automobile centric projects such as Hwy 413 and Hwy 401 tunnel and direct it to massively increasing public transit service across the GTA/Golden Horseshoe. The government needs to mandate that all road infrastructure projects include access for passive transit including cycle and pedestrian access.
