This comment is in regards to the attempt to expedite the process to build highway 413 and for the unwarranted removal of City of Toronto bike lanes.

For highway 413:
- Southern Ontario does not need another highway! In what would cost us, the taxpayer, billions of dollars, save virtually no time in people, and potentially charge the taxpayer for using their own funded highway - ridiculous
- building this highway will destroy important ecosystems and at a time when our environment is already in jeopardy
- WE ALREADY HAVE TWO EAST/WEST HIGHWAYS! Southern Ontario is already home to the 401 and the 407. If the conservative government didn't sell off the 407 in the 90s then we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. If the 407 was just bought back or if the money for building this unnecessary highway was used to pay the tolls for drivers or if trucks were allowed to only use the 407, then we would have far more available space.
- Doug Ford and his Cabinet want this highway to be built to pad the pockets of friends and for no other reason - we're not stupid so stop acting like we are

For removing Toronto bike lanes:
- Tax payers have paid for bike lanes which are already in place, removing these will cost EVEN MORE tax payer dollars which could be used for better things, like being put toward health care and public transportation!
- Removing bike lanes will not free up space for drivers, instead it would make roads far, far more dangerous as bikers will continue to bike AND be far more likely to be hit by a car! The safety of Toronto residents is at stake. This will also send more people to hospitals, which the Doug government is also underfunding.
- Removing bike lanes will not lessen commute times of drivers nor will it free up much space on roads to make spending all of that taxpayer money worth while.

The best option in reducing gridlock and saving commuters time is through investing in public transport and not another highway OR the removal of bike lanes. STOP BEING RIDICULOUS AND START DOING WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT THE CITIZENS OF ONTARIO ACTUALLY NEED!
