I against the schedules in this proposed act that support the removal of bike lanes in Toronto or another municipality down the line. It has been supported by science and existing data that improving biking infrastructure and transit opportunities reduces gridlock.

I am against the schedules in this proposed act that remove environmental assessments to expedite construction of the unnecessary 413 highway and Bradford Bypass. I am also concerned about the transparency around this part of the bill, as it was not noted in the overview provided on the comment page that the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act was a vehicle to enact several other unpopular Acts. Environmental assessments are a necessary process that ensures the province is doing its due diligence with regards to its responsibilities to uphold environmental integrity.

I am extremely disappointed with the government's stance on pushing through the construction on hwy 413 despite studies showing it will not save Ontarians time and will lead to significant impacts on species at risk.

None of the proposed measures in this bill will reduce gridlock or save me time. Please do not pass it.
