I believe it's in our best interest for municipalities to make decisions about their own transportation needs. They have their ears to the ground and are much more effective at consulting with their local constituents on their local matters.

Here in Ottawa, cycling has increased in popularity immensely, and I personally cycle to local destinations thanks to the infrastructure already in place. This means I'm not in my car for every trip I have to take, and therefore I'm not causing traffic.

I think the province should absolutely reconsider the amount of red tape proposed here. The people of Ontario deserve the option of a safe, carbon-free way to get to their destination, but it's clear from this legislation that the province is currently more concerned with getting Ontarian to drive, instead.
