I am dismayed, saddened and…

I am dismayed, saddened and quite angry over the provincial government’s baffling move to rip up existing bike lines in Toronto and seemingly slow any new biking infrastructure to a crawl. All evidence shows CONGESTION IS NOT IMPROVED WITH REMOVING BIKE LANES. Vehicular traffic merely fills the vacant lane. Pushing cyclists INTO traffic makes everyone LESS SAFE. Why is the Ford government putting people’s lives over perceived commute times?? I cycle every single day in this city, often on the bike lanes scheduled to be removed. They are well used, and keep cyclists separate from car traffic making everyone SAFER and allowing traffic to flow smoother. After so many studies, why is the Ford government ignoring this data? No one who actually lives and works in Toronto want to see more car traffic and cyclists forced into traffic. Why does the Ford government ignore the citizenry and the data experts? Stop this HARMFUL bill now…before some car hits me on the way to work, a way in which I USED to be protected. SHAME.
