The Ford government is overstepping and pandering to his voters, rather than making an informed, fair decision to benefit all Ontarians, specifically the millions who live in Toronto. Studies show that increasing roadway for cars only increases traffic, rather than help limit it. Improving public transit and building infrastructure to accommodate commuting/travelling that doesn't require cars (bikes, scooters, walking) is the only way to get less cars on the road, and the only way to improve gridlock for those who choose to travel by vehicle. This has been proven in cities all across the world, and it is unquestionably stupid to think Ford knows better, based not on facts but on the feelings of a small group. The city has spent millions of dollars building bike lanes, and the Ford government has decided that after a short amount of time, it's not working for him. It's disturbing that our government is actively working against the best interest of the citizens of the largest city in the province, to appease foolish people who have somehow turned biking into a political issue. Do better, and do the right thing and do NOT pass this ridiculous bill.
