Time and time again we see in other places that removing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and pushing people to using cars. Using cars is detrimental to not just the city/municipality, but also to the people because they don't get the chance to be active, and the density of cars vs any other mode

Incentivizing alternative modes of transportation that are more space efficient like public transit and cycling and other active transportation modes.

When you expand a road, travelling by car becomes quicker and easier in the short term. Which makes travelling by car more attractive and so more people are more likely to use their cars than usual.

More car trips = more cars on the road and all that extra space quickly disappears.

The more infrastructure you add of something like bike lanes will make more people bike, especially if you start to expand the network to more main places, Like home, work, school, etc.

Same thing goes with adding more roads or replacing bike lanes with roads people who would have biked to their place will have to take their car.

If you're going to make driving the easiest way to get around a city most people are going to drive, if you're going to make a city where the easiest way around it by biking and walking most people will bike and walk.

Biking is the healthiest greenest best option something the Environmental Registry of Ontario should be promoting not actively taking away!!!
