This bill is a disservice to…

This bill is a disservice to and an attack on the people of Ontario. Bike lanes are a municipal issue, and they are built after extensive consultation and study. The provincial government should be focused on issues within its jurisdiction, such as health care, education, transportation, and housing.

Bike lanes are a municipal issue, and are critical to the future of transportation in our cities. Removing them will only increase gridlock in our cities. The single cause of gridlock is cars, and the only way to solve that problem is to provide safe and reliable alternatives, such as cycling and public transit. The Ford government should be spending time getting the Eglinton Crosstown finished, rather than making our streets deadly and trading lives for votes.

The city of Toronto has provided extensive evidence to prove how harmful this bill is. This is backed up by doctors, engineers, researchers, and business owners. There is not a single fact in favour of this bill, and the Ontario government must admit this and focus its energy on the issues that will actually help this province.
