I am strongly opposed to Bill 60.

It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents. It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. Bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock and the addition of more cars will worsen congestion. It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving. It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets. It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.

Bill 60 is not helpful. It is backward looking and will deteriorate the quality of life in cities.

Please withdraw Bill 60 now.

Thank you.
