This bill goes against well…

This bill goes against well studied and understood principles of improving traffic and connectivity, and going forward with it would create the problems it claims to resolve.

It compromises the health of cyclists and bike riders, which include a large number of children and teens. It removes the infrastructure that makes cycling an agent of traffic reduction in the downtown core, and instead of expanding this to the rest of the city to help reduce the car congestion there, it proposes a waste of taxpayer funding on a regression of the interests of the city and the province.

The bill was conceived as a Toronto centric idea yet will jeopardize the other cities of Ontario by adding absurd amounts of unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy and drive up urban improvement costs everywhere.

The people of Ontario don't want a more expensive life than we already have, and we want our taxes used wisely and effectively. This is a waste and an obstacle to the improvements and projects we actually want built.

This bill will increase gridlock.
