I do not support this bill. The province has provided no evidence that congestion of our roadways is attributable to cycling infrastructure or to cyclists. It is irresponsible to create major policy decisions that impact the safety of cyclists without evidence and continually model city planning on outdated notions of car supremacy that simply will not work for a city the size of Toronto. The proposal is fiscally irresponsible as many of these cycling lanes were long term investments and would require millions to remove - and inevitably more time and resources to re-install when a new government takes office, which will create never-ending construction that will actually lead to congestion.

Ontario should not get involved in municipal infrastructure decisions. The politicization of cycling infrastructure only reveals the cyclical and shortsighted thinking of this government.
