Please make decisions based…

Please make decisions based on evidence.
This bill strips cities of local authority and decision-making, including projects supported by evidence and by local residents.
It will worsen traffic congestion. The Ontario government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are NOT a cause of gridlock.
It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for all road users, including people biking, walking, and driving.
It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.
It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into antiquated car-dependent street designs.
Cities are the economic engines of the province, and bills like this that hurt evidence-based decision-making around transit and road design, and thus hurt cities, will hurt Ontario's economy.
