I am very concerned about this bill and its impacts. This bill will increase red tape and create more hurdles for the construction of much needed infrastructure.

A removal of existing bike lanes will increase traffic as those cyclists who would have felt safe to bike will now resort to cars, increasing congestion in Toronto.

Bike lanes not getting built as a result of these changes will make cycling dangerous for children and increase deaths that are already one too many. Long term this will increase healthcare costs and increase expenditures needed to maintain roads (as more cars would be needed to replace cycles).

Not everyone can afford cars and food delivery costs would also increase due to an increased need for cars to deliver food.

To summarize, the community should be heard and common sense should prevail and this bill should be rejected.
