I live in downtown Toronto, and do not own a car. I use public transit to commute to work because bike lanes are NOT available to get me safely from downtown Toronto to York University, where I work. More importantly, a number of my university students--and I'm sure, college students--are put at risk because biking is considerably cheaper than public transit or cars.
To me, this proposal is simply ridiculous. Put the money into improving public transit or reducing its cost. Put more money into bike lanes, especially in the suburbs, so that more of my students have a less expensive AND SAFER means of travel to their schools--their high schools, their colleges, their universities. The more cars you put on the road, the more at risk our young people are.
This issues arises in every class I teach. THERE IS NO SAFE WAY TO BIKE FROM MY STUDENTS' HOMES TO THEIR SCHOOLS. Do something NOW to keep my students safe and to keep their transit expenses down.
