This legislature is…

This legislature is fundamentally flawed in two ways.

The first being that the province should not be interfering with municipal governments ability to run their own municipality. Our governance is based on each level of government having certain areas of responsibility and that is where their focus should be.

The second flaw is the plan won't work and will in fact make traffic worse and out lives in danger. The way to reduce grid lock is to increase the viability of other options, such as cycling and public transit. The more lanes you have the more traffic you will get, and the gridlock will continue. There are numerous examples of roads with no like lanes that have grid lock.

I believe this bill is politically motivated and not based on studies or factual evidence.

If passed this bill will be a big step backwards environmentally, safety wise, and will not solve the problem.
