I am unsure how this…

I am unsure how this legislation simultaneously claims that "accidents ... can worsen traffic congestion" while proposing the removal of infrastructure proven to reduce collisions.

Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the "right to life... and security of the person." Removing infrastructure that was implemented to uphold these rights is legally problematic.

Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees "equal treatment before and under the law, and equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination." This legislation only mentions drivers, and fails to acknowledge those who are neither in motor vehicles, nor have the ability to travel in one.

This legislation claims to reduce congestion, yet it actively promotes the least spatially efficient mode of transportation above more efficient ways of moving people. I am not convinced that what is proposed is informed by the available research on the effect of installing safer, less car-centred infrastructure.
