I think this plan is crazy…

I think this plan is crazy for many reasons:

1. Why is the premier fiddling around with things that are in a common-sense way the purview of the cities?

2. There are stats being thrown around that 1% of commuters shouldn't make traffic worse for the majority. They are highly misleading. If you look at the amount of infrastructure devoted to cars vs bikes, it's obvious why more people commute by car. However, where there is decent infrastructure, there are a decent number of biking commuters.

3. Cars as a transportation mechanism do not scale. Cars simply take too much space per person to be a long term solution to traffic. If you want a long term solution to traffic, making driving alternatives viable. Then only people who want to drive will drive. Which leads to...

4. Many drivers which they didn't have to drive. Bike lane networks are woefully disconnected outside of the downtown core. Subways are overcrowded during peak times. Many drivers don't feel like they have a choice. Give them a choice and they will choose not to drive, lessening traffic for those who do drive.
