The province is overstepping. It is not the concern of a provincial government to police municipal infrastructure. Not to mention that bike lanes reduce traffic by taking people out of cars. It reduces carbon emissions from vehicles. It encourages people to move under their own power and get active rather than remain sedentary and depend on sometimes expensive and unreliable technology.
The city has just put all of the money into building the bike lanes. To take them out now is not only a waste of time but a gross misuse of taxpayer money. Doug Ford is not the mayor of Toronto. He wasn't elected by the people of Toronto.
He is also, not for nothing, never going to be caught dead on a bike. He should butt out of Torontonian affairs. And maybe get on a bike himself. It would be good for his health.
I am an avid cyclist. I do not drive and I do not own a car. The TTC is a disaster and I started biking to work because of the Spadina streetcar shutdown. It turned my commute from 40 minutes to 13. They are an important part of city life and should not be removed. They should be expanded. You are living in the dark ages.
LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
