We relocated to Ontario from…

We relocated to Ontario from a have-not province out west. The bike lanes here are incredible. They make traffic work so much better for commuters who would otherwise have to "share the road" with a tiny bike taking up a whole lane of traffic and slowing everyone behind them down to 20km/h. I drive to work and I feel much more comfortable with cyclists who can stay in their lane and out of mine. Every major metropolitan city in the world in investing in bike infrastructure, not ripping it up.

Furthermore, I find this to be a massive overreach of the government into what is essentially a municipal issue.

I don't know much about the plan for highway 413, but as a general rule, forgoing the environmental assessments sounds a lot like "failing to plan" which is, of course, planning to fail. I mean, we all live in the environment. We should have a good idea of the outcomes, positive and negative. You can't mitigate risks (flooding, frost heaves, animal collision) if you don't know what they are.

Overall, this entire bill feels like a waste of time and money.
