This proposed legislation…

This proposed legislation would negate significant value realized from more accessible and safe bike transportation in cities across Ontario.

The Province should not interfere with Municipality’s planning and decision making.

The proposed legislation is a foolish and negligent use of taxpayer funds, and does not address the core issues that are causing traffic and congestion in the Province.

Motor traffic is a linear problem - as the Province grows, more roads and highways will be required, resulting in a continuous cycle of construction that ultimately creates more congestion.

The Province should alternatively be exploring solutions that reduce the number of cars being used for commuting by single passengers, and promoting more sustainable and efficient forms of transportation.

The Premier’s rationale that a “10 minute drive” near his residence is now further delayed because of bike lanes is a selfish and ignorant view for the “leader” of our Province to have, and he should be looking for solutions to problems that set Ontario up for success over the long term, rather than alleviating “issues” he claims he has that inconvenience him.

The entire Ontario government needs to do a better job to understand and address the real issues that we are facing, and not focus on “band aid” solutions that will need to be re-addressed in 5-10 years.
