Hello, I have been waiting…

Hello,

I have been waiting to receive evidence for the need to make these changes, but those have not been shared. I don't support making huge changes like this without actual study and research being done.

I also question the validity of the go's of this bill for streets with 2-4 lanes of traffic going in either direction. Typically, cars are parked (legally or illegally) in the right lane, so removing a bike lane in many situations won't make a difference.

What we will end up with are fewer people getting to where they need to go, and mounting frustration towards the government that made the change. I don't think this bill is well thought out unless you're trying to achieve something completely different that you haven't shared with the public.

My next concern is the what will now be wasted money that went into revamping streets with bike lanes. I don't see value in cities getting that money back from the Ontario government when the bike lanes have been providing value already.

I summary, the decision is premature and poorly planned, and toying with taxpayers' money is irresponsible.

Thank you for reading my feedback.
