The section on bicycle lanes is basically a bill of attainder against cyclists. Legislating that motor vehicle lanes are sacred and must be preserved regardless of a municipality's intent is poor policy and reeks of scapegoating. Read more

I do not support this legislation as it is a gross overreach of provincial powers into local matters. It is not the business of a representative of St Catharines to decide on Ottawa's parks, or the representative of Belleville to make demands of Kitchener's garbage pickup. Read more

I do not like the government impeding on my freedom to get around my city. I do not appreciate the Brampton based minister of transportation making traffic planning decisions for Toronto or any other municipality. Read more

The Woodbine bike lanes were put in without consultation of the neighbourhood. The councillor at the time, Mary Margaret, passed out surveys to all her friends and then declared that the neighbourhood wanted them. Read more

As both a car driver and bike lane user, it is important to have separated bike lanes for the safety and ease of all. It helps both drivers and cyclists share the road with greater ease. Read more
