The draft legislation…

The draft legislation pertaining to bike lanes is unnecessarily sweeping. Since local municipalities consult with local residents and apply local measures to address local mobility options, solutions arrived at locally should remain as such. If the province decides to proceed, it is suggested that such legislation only apply to restrict bike lanes on roads that have direct connections to provincial highways, thereby ensuring that these highways continue to operate to move vehicles as they were originally planned.

It is also suggested that instead of investigating tunnelling under highway 401, that the province advance the initiation of the 407 transit way, investigate the use of existing hydro corridors that cross the gta for transportation infrastructure and remove tolls on the provincially owned and operated portion of highway 407 from Brock Road to highway 35/115.
