I find this proposed…

I find this proposed legislation to be backward, misinformed and harmful for the sustainable growth of cities. Ontarians require many ways to get around - and this requires safe, and complete cycling networks to enhance safety and encourage more people to commute in more sustainable methods. Car dependency has been proven to be less sustainable, harder on our roads, and awful for local businesses and communities. We need to encourage other ways to get around and reduce our car dependency - especially in denser urban centers. Simply put, more car lanes will lead to induced demand, further clogging our roadways. This is not what Ontario needs. Stop micromanaging our cities and focus on larger systemic issues. If this government was serious about reducing gridlock, it would harness the potential of multiple modalities, and discourage individual car use and encourage people to get around in a number of ways - which needs to include transit, cycling and walking. I am incredibly opposed to this malicious political pandering which will only make traffic worse and our cities stagnate by the stranglehold of auto dependency. Do better.
