I strongly oppose the Ontario government's bill to usurp authority over bike lanes. This is a wholly inappropriate subversion of local democracy,and decisions made by the democratically elected city council.

On the substance removing bike lanes will increase traffic congestion, increase air pollution, decrease cyclist and pedestrian safety, increase road maintenance costs and impact the health of the population.

Data supports the increasing use of bikes in our city. As for motorist convenience, congestion will worsen as a result.

Finally the current provincial government claims to be concerned about taxpayers. This initiative is a major waste of revenue.
