To think this bill will lead to the end of bike lanes and safe, affordable transport in ADDITION to the destruction of the green belt is abhorrent. How dare you? How dare you threaten the lives of thousands of people all in the name of what, gaining 2 minutes in traffic? If it wasn’t for bike lanes, my husband may have been killed by now just going to work. This world shouldn’t be ruled by cars and drivers and I say this as a person who owns a car. It’s unsustainable, bad for the climate and as a whole, bad for citizens. Paving of the green belt will threaten lives, too. Do you know what the green belt helps prevent? Flooding. If we pave it over, goodbye natural flood protections. Further, we don’t need more McMansions that will be built on the expropriation of green belt spaces. We need affordable, accessible homes and we all know those will not be built. The paving of the green belt and the removal of bike lanes is nothing more than a waste of taxpayer dollars all while lining the pockets of the rich. Spend the money you will waste on these initiatives elsewhere like genuinely investing job Ontario’s healthcare and education systems.
