This is a foolish proposal on two fronts:
1) There's plenty of research on urban planning demonstrating that building more lanes does not reduce traffic and that public transit/bike lanes help ease congestion. One example, though not by far the only: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5c0e5848e5274a0bf3cbe124…. The Ford government is fully aware of this research yet not following it to propagate its own agenda, which seems to be making our car-focused society even more car focused.
2) I am opposed to the insidious attack on municipal autonomy from this provincial government. Municipalities have the resources to hire or consult urban planners and their own constituents to find the most workable solutions for their area. This is an overstep of the provincial government.
Invest properly in transit and non-car focused solutions that are affordable and accessible. I am opposed to Bill 212.
