I am deeply opposed to this bill. Bike lanes are integral to creating a healthful urban environment, in line with Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights. They promote safer, more sustainable transportation options, reduce pollution, and benefit public health. Requiring provincial approval would hinder municipalities’ ability to create these positive urban changes. This proposal also seems at odds with the Ministry’s goals of supporting active transport and reducing emissions. I ask that you reconsider this framework, allowing municipalities the flexibility to build safer and greener transportation networks.
