Bike lanes are good for business. They’re good for the environment. They’re good for public and personal health. They give us freedom and mobility. Bike lanes save lives.

Adding more lanes for cars solves congestion only temporarily, rarely, and at best.

If municipalities want to prioritize the vitality of their neighborhoods, the safety of their residents, and the efficiency of travel for the people that live there, they should not be interfered with; they should be encouraged by the province.

The ideas around bike lanes presented in this legislation are idiotic and will set us back greatly in our progress toward better cities, while offering absolutely no long-term benefit to traffic woes. There are decades of research from cities all around the world that make clear the fact that car dependency is not a sustainable model for cities economically.

Stay in your lane, Doug Ford.

The 413 is also a generally preposterous proposal. Getting to cottage country 30min faster is not worth the environmental concerns or the cash being "invested" in it. If that instead went to strengthening public transit in the GTA, we could clear the roads we already have while solving urban transit issues at the same time.

Smarten up.
