I think this bill is an enormous mismanagement of priorities from the province lead by the Ford government. The cities in Ontario are suffering from a huge deficit of transportation availability, rather than focusing on increasing public transit and giving people of large cities more options of transportation this bill cripples many who do not have access to a car. This bill grossly favours people who have access to cars. Bike lanes provide a safe infrastructure for alternative transportation for people who don't drive or don't want to drive. Every bicycle on the street is a car not on the road, there are only benefits of increasing bicycle infrastructure, it is better for the environment, it is an active method of transportation that is better for the citizens of Ontario.

In Toronto just this year there have been 6 cyclists death and 12 pedestrian deaths, increasing car density will only increase the casualties. The province should be more focused on delivering mass transit to reach large urban centers like Toronto. Time after time it has been scientifically proven that adding more lanes in cars doesn't decrease traffic, if that were the case then 401 would be the most efficient highway in the world. This bill is very ill informed and it has no benefits to any road users, it definitely won't reduce gridlock nor will it save anyone time. It will do the opposite of that and the cost will be bore by the vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians with their lives. The roads aren't exclusive to just cars. It should be thought of it as being useful for everyone.
