I'm a lifelong resident of Toronto, a current driver, motorcyclist, and cyclist. I've been waiting 30 years for sensible, safe, and data-backed solutions for mass transit infrastructure. Bike lanes are an integral part of that solution, along with investment in public transit.
We have already reached critical mass for cars in Toronto, as well as a number of other cities in the Province. Bike lanes are proven to drive biking demand over time, which decreases congestion and emissions, while also fostering economic growth for small businesses in those areas. Additionally, these lanes SAVE LIVES.
Aside from being a horrible policy decision, this legislation also represents a gross over reach by the provincial government into areas of responsibility reserved exclusively for municipalities.
Doug, if you want to remove Bike lanes from Etobicoke, run for Mayor. Otherwise, focus on investing in healthcare, education, and other PROVINCIAL responsibilities.
Sincerely,
The next generation of Ontarians
