I would like to register my opposition to this Bill. The province needs to listen to the traffic Consultants. I have not heard that there is any data showing that bike lanes inhibit the movement of vehicular traffic and no experts to my knowledge have come out in favour of removing bike lanes. The provincial government should focus on the real issue of road congestion which in Toronto at least is the disgraceful lack of public transit. Get the Eglinton Crosstown operational! (why hasn't anyone at Metrolinx been held responsible!)......and forget Hwy 413, that is only Doug Ford's gift to the developers of urban sprawl that have bought up all the land along that route. It will do nothing to relieve congestion....again ask the experts! A better use of money would be for the province to buy the underused Hwy 407 and remove the tolls or mandate all the transport trucks to use the 407 rather than the 401. And don't get me started on Rob's tunnel under the 401! If he can't get the current projects finished how would he ever expect to get that built? Lets act like a real world class city and get more subways built and more bike lanes built. They can do it in Europe...why not here? Lets work towards a liveable city!
