I'll keep this brief. This is an absurd piece of legislation that should be scrapped immediately. It will delay infrastructure projects by creating a mass of red tape that municipalities will need to break through to build, upgrade, or maintain road and transit infrastructure. It will cost millions of dollars to remove existing cycling infrastructure, wasting taxpayers' money. It will actually increase gridlock by putting more cars on the road. It will endanger pedestrians', cyclists', and motorists' lives by making many types of safety upgrades impossible.
The best way to decrease gridlock is to get more people on bikes and buses so that there's more room for people who choose to drive. Removing transportation alternatives will have the opposite of the intended effect.
