There are multiple pieces of this bill that are problematic:

The lack of oversight with regard to environmental impact and engineering oversight, and ignoring feedback from experts in these areas to push through the highway projects named in this bill.

The overreach of powers to dictate how municipalities can manage their own roads.

Removing bike lanes will not make traffic better, it will make cyclists less safe and cause more people to resort to commuting by car. Roads with bike lanes that are underused do not indicate that the bike lanes are not needed on those roads, but rather that a lack of an overall bike lane network prevents people who would prefer to commute by bike from doing so due to feeling unsafe sharing lanes with cars on stretches of their journey which lacks protected bike lanes.

We have an underused highway that could be diverting congestion from highway 401 but it seems like no serious thought has been put into using highways we already have to relieve congestion.

This bill also curiously includes policy for broadband internet, which seems unrelated to the rest of the bill, unless it is included to provide infrastucture to support efforts to privatize/toll these or future highway developments.
