I am gravely concerned about provincial overreach into municipal affairs-most particularly when policy is more partisan than fact based.
Over the past few decades more and more expenses have been downloaded from Queens Park to Ontario municipalities (likewise Federal downloading to Provinces). The Province can not now increase its jurisdiction over affairs best managed by municipal councils.
The present policy concerning the removal of existing bike lanes and the restriction of new ones is blatantly political and not supported by evidence. This goes hand in hand with the ill conceived plan to plow up high production farmland in Ontario’s breadbasket for another highway that has been shown will have a negligible effect on commuter times.
Provincial overreach must be limited.
Addressing vehicle congestion on municipal roads must be done in a well researched manner.
Mr Ford is applying the thinking of Robert Moses whose policies have for decades been discredited. Let’s not repeat bad history.
