This bill will do nothing to…

This bill will do nothing to resolve gridlock, and will only worsen the problem by 'inducing demand' for roads. Reducing congestion requires reducing traffic volumes, this requires providing alternate transportation solutions for short trips, or building better towns and cities that don't rely on a car for every single trip.

This bill will endanger cyclists, and other vulnerable road users without any appreciable gains on motorist travel time. The unintended consequence is that cyclists will take over entire vehicle lanes to ensure safe travel, making less space for motorists.

When every other global urban jurisdiction is installing cycling networks to reduce the need for cars for short trips less than 5km, this bill sets Ontario back.
