Providing alternative,…

Providing alternative, efficient and safe ways for people to commute is a the most effective method of reducing congestion. Removing quality infrastructure that keeps bikes and cars separated is the opposite of this. Adding more lanes for cars does nothing to stop gridlock when there are other bottlenecks at intersections, and will encourage more people to drive. Providing safe and fast routes to bike will keep cars off the road.
Furthermore, the province of Ontario has no place telling cities what to do in these circumstances, when the have already conducted traffic studies and done the planning necessary to build the right infrastructure. This bill is shameful and ignorant meddling, drags the province backward and has no place in our society.
