This is just a terrible, terrible idea. There are more and more cyclists within the city, in particular riding e-bikes. They must be given room to be used.

In addition, usurping the authority of municipal politicians - the ones who are accountable and reactive to their city-dwelling residents - in favour of decisions of provincial politicians who do not represent ANYONE in the city corrupts the principles of representative democracy.

And encouraging MORE gasoline vehicle traffic makes no sense from an environmental perspective. Climate change is real and hitting a crisis point. A proposal like this makes me feel that the Ford government is contemptuous and uncaring of the need to take action to combat climate change.

Thank you.
