Bill 60:
- strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
- will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.
- will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving.
- threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.

and finally:
- undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.
