The removal of bike lanes in…

The removal of bike lanes in the most used streets is a terrible idea as well as a very selfish one. Just because the people who make, signs, and enact bills in Ontario doesn’t use them does not mean that they are not crucial for the function of Toronto. The government says that they want to improve traffic yet is doing the opposite by removing ways for people to a safe alternative to driving. Time and time again have we seen different countries (European ones) find a better and more effective way to reduce automobile traffic, yet Ontario cannot do it because the people in power find it inconvenient for themselves. For a government who is no discriminatory and accepting of all people doesn’t seem very accepting of those who choose not to drive and choose alternative methods of getting around the city. Attached are some helpful resources and concerned people who explains why this is a terrible idea and how NOT CARS AND EXPANDING THE ROAD can reduce traffic.
