I am 100% against this Act and I sincerely hope that the Government changes its mind on it.
First off, the entire premise of the Act is incorrect. This Act will NOT reduce gridlock and/or save anyone time - there are countless studies proving that eliminating/avoiding bike lanes does not reduce traffic.
Second, this is both an overreach of the Government and a waste of money and time. Bike lanes should be a municipal concern, not a provincial one. And since Premier Ford is now promising that the province will pay to cover the cost of lane removal, this is a collosal waste of taxpayers' money. Why should the PROVINCIAL governement use taxpayers' money (from all over the province) to pay for MUNICIPAL things? Do taxpayers in Wingham want to pay for bike lane removals in Guelph? I promise you they do not.
Finally, there is already a clear and easy way to "reduce gridlock and save [us] time". Build MORE transit options. More roads and highways = more cars. Roads and highways plus transit (GO trains, public transit) and bike lanes = more options for commuters = fewer cars. Please reconsider this terrible Act.
