What is the purpose of this…

What is the purpose of this bill? Bad traffic has always existed in Toronto and will continue to do so as the population grows, and now we're entertaining eliminating a safe alternate mode of transport just to placate some of Ford's supporters?

Meanwhile, three major public transportation lines are delayed indefinitely to the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, healthcare is crumbling, education continues to suffer from cuts and negligence from the province, etc.

Spending money to eliminate already-built bike lanes in Toronto is the current government's equivalent to Mike Harris filling in already-dug subway tunnels (only for a future tunnel to be re-dug at considerable cost in that same corridor years later), albeit at a smaller scale. It's an egregious waste of taxpayer funds and equate to little more than a vanity project designed to allow Ford a (slightly) quicker commute to Queens Park. Maybe.

And why the constant focus on Toronto municipal affairs from this government? Does the rest of Ontario approve of Ford's laser focus on all things Toronto — to the point of using taxpayer funds from everywhere in the province to complete these useless projects that only serve to further Ford's petty grudge against the city that rejected him as mayor? Meanwhile, the rest of the province is falling apart just like Toronto is, but Ford only has eyes for the city that spurned him.
