This bill that will banish…

This bill that will banish new bike lanes where car lanes will be affected is short sighted. Where I live, in Kitchener-Waterloo, the municipal governments (Region of Waterloo, City of Kitchener, City of Waterloo) have made tremendous positive progress on making the cities more accessible by all modes of transportation. A lot of research and pilot projects have been done over many years this bill will supercede all the hard work that has been done at the municipal level.

It just does not make sense. We need to think about moving people, not just moving motorized vehicles. This decision is tremendously short-sighted

In addition, this decision is dangerous to the most vulnerable road users, namely cyclists and pedestrians. Moving more cars faster is not the solution. The provincial government needs to look into moving PEOPLE, not cars. Invest in public transportation.

Please think this through and look at all the hard work the municipalities have done that you will be ignoring.
