I am strongly against this…

I am strongly against this new ruling, which appears to be political nonsense rather than a plan designed to help reduce traffic. Essentially all research shows that bike lanes and improved alternatives to driving reduce traffic, not adding more roads or lanes. This proposed ruling goes against years of research, so its motivation must stem from some other reason besides what is stated in the verbiage.

This also seems like an issue better left to cities rather than ON. Obviously the cycling and traffic considerations of Barrie will differ substantially from those of Toronto.
