It is a shame that the premier has decided to wage a war against cyclists in this city while trying to push through a bill that would cause untold environmental damage to our wonderful province with the expedited construction of 413. Numerous studies (I would say all or the large majority of them) show that bike lanes do NOT effect traffic congestion and actually ease it by providing people alternative methods of transportation. Construction of both rail projects that the government is letting drag on causes more congestion. The lack of public transit options causes congestion. Cars cause congestion. All this will lead to is more frustration from drivers when bikes are on the road legally taking up a lane which will result in more injuries and deaths from vehicles hitting cyclists. The Ford government needs to take its hands off Toronto and allow the municipal government to govern the city like they were elected to do instead of messing with our affairs to settle a grudge and appease their developer friends. Cyclists will make driving more difficult for drivers if these lanes are removed and they will be within their legal right to do so.
