This is a ludicrous bill…

This is a ludicrous bill. Municipalities need to prioritize alternate modes of transportation to car traffic in order to reduce reliance on cars as the preferred method of transportation within their boundaries. This is clearly an overreach to take power away from the locally elected Toronto city council. The population of Ontario is growing faster than road infrastructure; there is not enough room on the roads for everyone who wants to drive - we need people to ride bicycles and transit instead. Every person on a bicycle or on a bus is one LESS car on the roads. Removing bike lanes will kill cyclists and have negligible impact on gridlock. Gridlock is caused by too many cars and having a subpar transit system that people don’t have confidence in. How about the province focus on opening the incredulously overdue metrolinx Eglinton LRT and further investments in municipal transit instead. I am a driver, cyclist, transit user and parent who works and lives in Toronto. I do NOT support this bill.
