This is a ludicrous bill. Municipalities need to prioritize alternate modes of transportation to car traffic in order to reduce reliance on cars as the preferred method of transportation within their boundaries.

This is moronic. We need to move people through improved transit and safe bike lanes. Stop focusing on cars and focus on people. You are embarrassing this province. We want accessible, safe and climate conscious transit options.
Interfering in civic planning by impeding the installation of bike lanes even when they replace a car lane is provincial overreach for one.

Bike lanes save lives and permit active commuting.
Please continue to develop safe active travel. Public money should be used to promote public transit, not expanding roadways.
The provincial government is overstepping with this proposed legislation and is solving a Toronto problem with a province-wide solution. Other municipalities should be able to make their own autonomous decisions without all of this ridiculous red tape.

As a civil engineer approaching the age of 40 who drives, takes transit, cycles and walks in a major city, I'm disgusted by this proposed legislation. We should be doing everything in our power to reduce the number of cars on the roads. Ignoring climate change will not make it go away.

This is absolutely the most stupid and poorly thought out amendment to the Highway Traffic Act. It is well studied in several academic, observational, and other well documented studies (public and private) that bicycle lanes have a POSTIVE impact on businesses, health, and traffic congestion.
