This new legislation is, on so many levels, counterintuitive. Communities in Ontario and across Canada have been moving ever so slowly to move away from the prioritization of the motor vehicle by enhancing access to alternate methods of safe, viable and green transportation. I have been cycling in Toronto for 30 plus years as a commuter and my rides to and from work have become much safer and over that period of time the number of cyclists (and other non vehicular methods of transit) have risen dramatically. If the goal is to make Toronto a world class city we need to keep up with the great cities around the world that continue to develop infrastructure that is not centered around the motor vehicle.
Perhaps a plan based on the real needs of the community in the long term instead of a plan based on perceived political short term gains makes the most sense.
