This bill is such a silly…

This bill is such a silly waste of time and money, and ignores decades of precedent and evidence showing that bike infrastructure reduces car traffic by providing a safe, viable, alternative mode of transportation. If people are not able to bike, because they do not feel safe sharing a lane with cars, and choose to drive instead, this will increase the number of cars on the road and increase traffic, which is the exact opposite of what this bill proposes will happen.

Millions will be spent on ripping up perfectly functional, brand new bike lanes, while our education and healthcare systems collapse under this premier's watch. This bill will actively set transportation in Ontario back decades, leaving us to fall behind the rest of the western world.

Why are bikers not given the same safety and assurance as drivers? Are they not worthy in the premier's view? Or does he simply not care? Without dedicated bike lanes, bikers will have to occupy a lane of traffic as they are entitled and instructed to within the Ontario Highway Act, which would just add to the traffic already plaguing our streets.
