It should not be within the scope of power of the provincial government to control strictly municipal infrastructure such as roads and bikelanes. This legislation is clearly targeting the City of Toronto (as explicitly stated in the requirements to remove existing bikelanes within the municipality) when the Ontario government should be focused on the good of the entire province (rather than restricting development that might hurt the commute of MPPs to Queen's Park). Additionally, this forced removal of existing bikelanes within the City of Toronto is ridiculous considering they were implemented using municipal taxpayer dollars rather than being funded by the provincial government. If this legislation is passed, the provincial government should be required to pay for both the removal and the original costs of installation rather than leaving the burden on the citizens of Toronto for an unnecessary action as the existing bikelanes save cyclist lives and produce alternatives to driving (that reduces gridlock) or the underfunded TTC.
