This bill is a bad idea…

This bill is a bad idea. Cycling infrastructure, especially for Bloor, Yonge, and University, is built to protect cyclists where cars have killed them. The need for this infrastructure is written in blood and calculated in peoples' lives.

Cycling infrastructure increases freedom of mobility, especially for people who can't afford or can't drive a car. They decrease congestion by providing an alternative to adding another car to the roads.

Benefits of cycling infrastructure aside, this bill infringes on the jurisdiction of municipalities. How can the province claim to know better than the municipality when it comes to the needs and wants of their residents? The addendum is especially bad when the province will require the City of Toronto to remove existing (and especially nice) cycling infrastructure on the three most used and key routes.

Please rescind this bill, or at least the addendum that would remove routes!
