This may be the worst piece…

This may be the worst piece of legislation ever introduced in Ontario. First, it will do the opposite of what it says - it will increase gridlock and congestion because it will force people who are now travelling by bike back into single-occupancy vehicles. The only solution to reducing gridlock is to reduce the number of vehicles travelling on our roads. Second, it will literally result in more deaths and serious injuries to vulnerable road users by removing bike lanes, that have been proven to be safer for all road users. Third, by building new highways outside dense urban development it will encourage sprawl, and with the lack of high order transit in those areas it will cause more people to drive, thus increasing traffic and gridlock.
