This requirement will NOT address gridlock issues in Toronto. Toronto needs reasonable alternatives to car transportation so that the city can get more cars off the road. Studies have shown that building more road infrastructure will increase traffic, not decrease it. Requiring provincial oversight into bike lanes is not going to address gridlock. What will address gridlock is proper funding for public transportation and badly needed public transportation infrastructure updates. I am happy that the province of Ontario is addressing that piece. Removing bike lanes or requiring provincial oversight on bike lanes is not. I strongly recommend that the premier's office take up the offer from the Ontario Traffic Council to review data and work together to mitigate gridlock. This legislation is not going to address the issue it purports to.
