This bill does little, if anything, to address traffic gridlock in Ontario. I don’t see any mentions of public transportation projects, initiatives, or incentives to get people out of their cars. The only way to solve traffic gridlock is to incentivize more people to leave their car behind.

Also, the ability of the provincial government to remove and block bike lane infrastructure is a gross overreach of provincial jurisdiction and a distraction from the real issue at hand. Biking is good for the environment, good for public health, reduces noise pollution, reduces traffic as it provides an alternative to driving, and makes walking, driving, and biking more safe. All of these have been documented and studied.
