I do not support these bike…

I do not support these bike lanes. I often have to take the bus and mount my bicycle because it is not safe to bike, and this puts strain on myself and needlessly slows my journey down. Cycling in my suburban neighbourhood is often dangerous especially at intersections, and putting this legislation in place limits the city from making changes that would make it safe. If Torontonians don’t want bike lanes, we will vote for an anti-bike lane mayor, not premier.
Moreover, I feel most suburban roads in Toronto are way too congested on my commute to work. These roads have zero bike lanes, meaning that there is something integrally wrong with roads that is clearly not to do with bike lanes. Projects that will make commutes easier, like crosstown and the Ontario line, are set to open way too late and/or are very delayed, which DOES make a difference for commute times. Make it viable for citizens in this city and across the province to take whatever means of transport they want, not just drive. Don’t limit a city government from making bold decisions that could make lives better for everyone - if the program didn’t work, Torontonians would be the first to protest the decision, not the province. And finally, expediting construction on rapid transit projects and highway/roadway rehabilitation would significantly make our lives better as drivers, as opening up these bike lanes tomorrow will result in the same bumper-to-bumper traffic we had before they were installed. Setting this precedence enables is not the right move.
