I am supportive of some items in this Bill. Particularly, requiring provincial approval for bicycle lanes that remove a roadway lane promotes driving over active transportation, causing more gridlock. Additionally, requiring provincial approval will lengthen construction and building processes, which I thought was the direction the provincial government was heading, this seems to contradict other Bills. Additionally, requiring less environmental studies to build highways is extremely harmful, and a massive risk that should not be taken in 2024! Why doesn’t the provincial government invest more in alternate transportation such as high speed rail, and make taking more sustainable, higher capacity transit a more attractive option. This is what will reduce gridlock, not building more lanes and highways. The more you build, the more traffic will use these roads, creating a never ending cycle unless investment is made in higher order transit. Please give Ontarians options for transportation and please stop forcing driving upon the public by only investing in vehicular infrastructure.
