Province should not: 1…

1. Province should not decide what the municipalities do to handle local traffic. You already get your say on highways, which does NOT have bike lanes and yet still rated the worst congested road in the world.

2. The province should not do petty politics & ignore actual evidences that bike lanes successfully relieved car lane traffic; while the previous removal attempt (Jarvis St) resulted in worse traffic.

3. The province should note that bike lanes improved business on either side. Taking away bike lanes mean killing off the street merchants' 50% of their income, and does NOT benefit from side street bike traffic. Multiple BIAs had raised their support for the bike lanes.

4. Most importantly, the province should let safety & science should be priority on road designs, not political opinions. Time and time again, studies after studies shown that bike lanes improved people's health & reduced traffic accidents, and it allow elderly citizens and children to bike when they cannot drive themselves. Health & wellbeing of it's children, elderly & everyone else should be the province's objective, not petty bike lane removals and hindering. There are multiple hospitals in favor of the bike lanes too.

It is hideous enough to hide the agenda behind "reducing gridlock, saving your time" when this action will only increase grid lock AND lost all of us more time.

This is a bill that directly harm citizens of Ontario, in legal sense & in physical sense. I will do all I can to make sure any MPP in favor of this bill will not be re-elected at the next election.
