This is a ridiculous…

This is a ridiculous proposal. It is true there is a crippling traffic problem in Toronto, and to a lesser degree in other cities across Ontario, but reducing access to ALTERNATE forms of transport is counterintuitive and shortsighted.

It takes a very quick google search to find research and data on the effects of bike lanes versus additional car lanes for easing congestion. Bike lanes are the clear winner. How can this bill be proposed when it seems to have no factual basis?

Frankly, this legislation is an embarrassment to the province of Ontario as it highlights how out of touch politicians can be. This bill does NOT reflect people’s desire for more green cities, the realities of car congestion, or anything beyond a blind, top-down approach to fixing a problem in a completely backward and decidedly unhelpful way.

Thank you for your time.
