What an awful idea! And…

What an awful idea! And completely counter-intuitive to what you are trying to accomplish. Not only will bike lines decrease gridlock as more people will be able to commute using the lanes, it will also improve the quality of life of so many people. Not to mention public safety. Since moving to Mississauga where it is clear they prioritize drivers over cyclists, I have gotten into two cycling accidents due to poorly planned bike lanes or no bike lane at all. I am no longer able to commute to work because of the danger and am not contributing to this “gridlock”. So many other options, like improving public transit, will reduce to reduced gridlock. There is also the climate impact that can be added to this argument with more people driving. This going through will be dangerous for so many, will reduce quality of life and will surely lead to more deaths and injuries to cyclists. This seriously makes me wonder what the direction this province is trying to go.
