I am entirely opposed to this Bill. First because it represents ridiculous overreach by the Provincial Government into City affairs. City affairs should be run by the elected city government. The government should focus on it's own complex mandate, and not waste time in someone else's.

Second because the government's heavy handed stupidity will tear out bike lanes that are, by and large, popular with residents and business owners. Yes the recently installed sections along Bloor street (between Jane and Islington) are poorly implemented, little use and deeply unpopular, but this is not the case in Bloor West Village, or along large stretches of Bloor street east of Jane and right across the city. But instead of dealing with this local and small scale problem the Provincial Government has decided to tear out the entire network, and make it impossible for the City to do any future planning or implementation without provincial approval.
