Removing existing…

Removing existing infrastructure that encourages a non-polluting form of transit while keeping people safe is the kind of wasteful backwards spending I have come to expect from the Ford government. Does this government really think that by eliminating bike lanes cyclists will simply disappear? Cyclists will now either occupy an entire lane or will be in a vehicle further contributing to traffic. Eliminating bike lanes does not eliminate the need to commute. All this does is make conditions less safe for Ontarians who choose to bike.

For a government that wants to cut red tape, trying to dictate what municipalities do with their own road infrastructure is hypocritical. Furthermore, wasting taxpayer dollars to remove already built infrastructure is scandalous. This bill is a waste of government resources, an over reach by the provincial government, and an objectively unsafe piece of legislation.
