To whom it may concern,

Thank you for providing me the opportunity to share my thoughts on this bill. As the bill itself states, the intention here is to reduce gridlock, and save businesses time and money. This is something we can all agree on - it's just common sense. Another important goal of this bill is to reduce the number of accidents and connect people. For too long we have been divided by our lanes, and it's time to finally bridge the gap.

To achieve these noble goals, the following is a list of actions I believe the city must take:

- Create induced demand by building more lanes to get more cars on the road
- Prevent cycling from constructing enough infrastructure to reduce the necessity of using a car
- Disregard environmental factors (rushing or skipping impact studies entirely is strongly suggested)
- Spend taxpayer money undoing something that was already recently completed
- Weaponize legislation to create big government that dictates local affairs (not typically a Conservative value, but in this case I'll overlook it!)
- Discourage cyclists by threatening them with a vehicle that weighs ~3000lbs
- Promote local businesses by allowing cars to zoom right past them on their way home to Etobicoke (can someone say free advertising?)

And the list goes on. While I do like the idea of reducing traffic, I can ONLY in good conscience support this bill if the above measures are taken. For that reason, I do not approve of this bill (yet!).

Best wishes,

A concerned citizen
