The provincial government…

The provincial government through Bill 212 is overstepping its boundaries into what is a solidy municipal matter. This is not welcome in our communities where residents and local councils should have the final say on municipal infrastructure.

Removing bike lanes, adding red tape and regulations to installing new ones will cause more traffic, more frustration in sharing the road, and frankly more fatalities for cyclists.

Finally the proposal to reroute Bloor and University Ave bike lanes through side roads is absurd. First, no such routes exist without zigzagging through residential areas. Second why not encourage cars to use these routes if it'll reduce traffic? Because it will not.

This is all coming from a rural Ontario resident (Kawartha Lakes). So I hope it speaks volumes that even I care and am following this closely.
