Bike lanes are an essential alternative to car travel, and their continued expansion improves commutes for both car and bike travelers. Removal of bike lanes is an unnecessary expense, and an excessive provincial overreach. Stay in your lane.

If the goal truly is to reduce congestion, the focus must be on public transit to alleviate single passenger car travel, and improve highway access around the GTA by lower the bar to access the 407 or shifting traffic to it.

Lastly, this proposal seeks to skirt critical environmental assessments for the dubious 413 construction, which is wholly irresponsible and unnecessary. These protections exist for a reason, and are not to be ignored when inconvenient. If the assessments harm the viability of the project, the proposed construction plan must be improved to be meet the needed criteria that all other developments must also satisfy.
