I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, the “Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act.” This legislation represents a significant overreach by the provincial government into the powers and responsibilities of municipalities.
By overriding local decision-making, Bill 212 undermines the autonomy of cities and towns to manage their own infrastructure and transportation needs. It is essential that residents have a voice in decisions that directly affect their communities. Local councils are best positioned to understand the unique needs and priorities of their constituents, and this bill diminishes their ability to govern effectively.
I urge you to respect municipal authority and allow local governments and their residents to make informed decisions about transportation and infrastructure. Protecting local governance is crucial for fostering communities that reflect the values and needs of their citizens.
