Bill 212 is a biased bill against cyclist. It's the type of bill that is too expensive to pass. By removing bike lanes it will cost the province to lose more money. It will raise the death toll of cyclists and pedestrian alike. Removing bike lanes to add more lane will not reduce gridlock but encourage it. Personally, I don't mind building highways but the only problem is there will always be a bottleneck. Intersections are usually congested since the speed getting off the highway will be lower. Roads in Ontario usually relies on traffic signals, there should be a roundabout. Living in the GTA I have seen the pedestrian get struck by vehicles on the intersections. By having roundabout, motorist can be more alert of their surroundings and will ease the flow of traffic. Another suggestion is more public transportation. There are too many cars causing a gridlock. If the people of Ontario can have different modes of transportation it will result in less cars going in and out of cities. Trucks that import and export for the province will have more space to move around. Ontario has some infrastructure of public transportation but it is still a province reliant on cars. The provincial government should make a long term plan to increase public transportation. If the province is serious about easing the gridlock and meddling with municipalities across Ontario, they should pass a bill that will actually decrease traffic rather than just making another road.
