I am strongly opposed to the Bill 212.
While am in support of the province looking for solutions to the real problems the bill intends to solve, I do not believe the proposed solutions would succeed. Additionally, experts and their evidence do not support the solutions Bill 212 and in fact suggests the exact opposite; congestion is not decreased by adding car lanes or new highways to new suburban development. An overwhelming majority of studies indicate that congestion decreased by making it easier for residents to travel by means other than the private automobile, namely public transportation and cycling. Additionally, studies indicate the the larger issue of congestion can be tackled by changing how we build and develop our towns and cities; by encouraging mixed land-use development and medium density residential housing.
Making cycling harder and less safe, skipping environmental assessments, and removing protections from provincial expropriations are equivalent to taking an expired pain medication for a broken leg. While it might look somewhat helpful at first, not only does it not addresses the original issue but it might in fact cause more harm than good.
