I believe this to be a gross overreach of the provincial arm, and further highlights the challenges of Toronto not being its own province (similar to the administrative areas of leading urban areas such as Paris and Berlin). Cities and municipalities across Ontario should be empowered to design cycling networks that are best fit to their population, as decided by the experts in the municipality itself.

The (re)addition of lanes will further induce vehicle demand, leading to continued gridlock, more dangerous streets, and a worse environment. I humbly suggest the province explore a more pragmatic approach, wherein the funds are reallocation towards delivering public transit projects, reducing vehicle demand, and allowing cities to continue to build safer streets for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles alike.
