Why is this Bill so one…

Why is this Bill so one-sided, in favour of cars? Not everyone has access to a car. I live in Ottawa, I work from home, and I don't have time to drive my autistic young adult son everywhere. He has a part-time job and has to use the bus and LRT service to go downtown. This takes 3 hours out of his day. The bike paths are not continuous, or safe enough to get him to his destination. And when he wants to socialize with his special-needs group in the evening, I have to drive him. There are many, many people with disabilities, seniors, and young families who would love to have safe bike lanes to get to their destinations. If they had options like safe and continuous bike lanes, this would take a lot of car off the roads, including mine, which would alleviate pollution and make driving smoother for car owners. Why is this not taken into consideration at all? Despite the numerous studies that show that adding more car lanes is dangerous, polluting and ultimately self-defeating?
