I'm against this bill and I…

I'm against this bill and I sincerely hope it does not pass. Removing bike lanes anywhere is not going to stop people from biking, it will end up with people who commute via cycling getting injured or killed. Before the construction of the bike lanes along lakeshore, I was the victim of multiple injuries from car drivers. Removing bike lanes will force cyclists onto the road with cars who, at this point, are less accustomed to them than before bike lanes were introduced and will result in injuries and fatalities.
It will cost money, create more construction which will lead to congestion and cyclists that now use the road will also slow down traffic. The removal of bike lanes and slower approval process to get new ones put in is clearly just an act by someone with a personal grudge against them and financial motive for their own self gain.

This can also be said for the approval of Highway 413, which is not necessary. It is another solution that will be far more costly in the short run than its benefits will be in the future. There are better ways to reduce traffic congestion; support local business' and infrastructure for the surrounding areas and introduce better mobile and internet coverage so commuting for work is reduced. The destruction of green space and farming for this area would be a major loss and seems like a huge step backwards after the forest fires Ontario faced in recent summers. Again, this seems like something being pushed forward by someone with personal financial gain at the expense of tax payers, local communities where the highway is proposed to be built and the environment
