I strongly oppose this bill.

First, it is a huge overreach by the provincial government. The city's streets are for the city to manage. The people of Toronto elect their officials specifically because of their policies on things such as bike lanes - to have the provincial government come in and do whatever they want goes against the will of the people.

Secondly, this is a complete waste of taxpayer money. Spending millions of dollars to rip out existing infrastructure while our hospitals are underfunded is unconscionable. To double-back on our research and spending like this is quite literally the opposite of progress.

This bill won't even help with gridlock! The only way to effectively fight that is to get people out of cars and into other modes of transport, such as public transportation or - get this - bike lanes!

There's no way I can support something that's going to make our streets less safe for everyone. What happened to vision zero? If this bill goes through, people are going to die as a direct result.
