We, once again, are becoming…

We, once again, are becoming the laughing stock of progressive cities. Premier Ford, you were elected not just to support suburban voters but all Ontarians including those of us who live in the city of Toronto. What we need are a safe interconnected and protected series of bike lanes. Before you decide to tear up the existing bike lanes, please do us all a favour and travel to Copenhagen where you will see thousands of people of all ages travelling on safe protected bike lanes.

Your proposal will put so many lives at risk. Perhaps, the car continues to reign supreme when designing policies and regulations. The congestion on so many roads leading to the Gardiner Expressway every single evening has absolutely nothing to do with bike lanes. Take a trip to your own suburban area and count the number of cars in driveways. It is all related to pure volume and bike lanes have nothing to do with the current gridlock.

The current voting system is putting governments like yours in power with less than 45% of the vote and permitting you to ride roughshod over the wishes of the people you are supposed to represent. Appalling!
