It strikes me that the Government of Ontario lacks a transportation plan that would include all modes of transportation which could have eliminated this perceived current crisis. More effort should be spent to develop a comprehensive transportation plan with phased in priorities.
Construction of a new highway through non replaceable farmland is shortsighted and may now solve long term needs.
Eliminating bicycle lanes will place cyclists in far more danger from danger from traffic. Many people chose to cycle rather than drive, but many cyclists have no choice but to cycle for transportation. I predict a significant increase in severe injury to cyclist from collisions with vehicles if the proposed bill passes.
City and municipality bicycle lanes and plans should not be dictated by the Province of Ontario. The people have chosen how they will accommodate cyclists to ensure safety and traffic flow. I fail to see how a provincial law can do better.
