Provincial Government has no…

Provincial Government has no busy deciding about local bike lanes.

So the Government of Ontario has decided that it is in the best position to determine, for every city and town and hamlet of Ontario, what streets should have bike lanes and which not. The local councillors that were dutifully elected by the residents are not competent enough to make that decision with their own citizens.

It has always been said that local government is the closest to the people because their decisions affect the people's lives the most on a daily basis.

Surely, with the problems facing Ontario today, the Government of Ontario has more pressing needs than to determine where and how bike lanes will be constructed in Ontario. Surely it should spend its precious resources getting the 401 highway rebuilt faster so that the closed lanes, that affect thousands of cars and trucks every day, can re-open quickly.

The government would be better to stick to its knitting and solve the problems for which they and only they have responsibility.
