I am fundamentally opposed to this legislation. The inclusion of retroactive approvals is a huge overreach, as is the removal of specific bike lanes in Toronto. Ontario has a huge problem with traffic congestion, and we should be prioritizing alternates to individual vehicles at all times. In April of this year, cyclist fatalities had already surpassed the total number from the previous year and this does not include injuries and near misses. I see absolutely no reason to make cyclists across the province less safe, while increasing red tape and administrative costs, in the service of a few additional traffic lanes which there is no evidence will have any significant improvements for communities.
