I would like to cast my support in keeping the bike lanes, and feel that this bill is not based on on any science, statistics, or good faith.

My question is, what do you intend to do to create alternatives? Are you going to remove parking? (As parking is often built into the bike lanes). If you are removing parking, then you have now taken away parking while generating demand for more cars. If you intend to keep parking in these lanes, then what's the point? They will be used for parking, and nothing else. Lastly, even if you open the lanes for driving, cars will stop temporarily, increasing lane switching (which drives up the chances of crashes), while doing nothing to remediate congestion.

Lastly, I do not support the policies by which the Ontario government is intending to bypass the environmental studies for the 413 Bradford Bypass. Those pieces of land are critical for animal life and agriculture, and the intent of this building to bypass that shows the smoke and mirrors happening with this Bill.
