Team, this decision is short sighted because you have completely disregarded people like me who cannot afford vehicles, who depend on a free mode of transport like a bike to get around.
The Ford govt has been constantly further marginalizing people, focussing on only those who are wealthy enough to own a vehicle, not giving even a lick of thought to pdestrians and cyclists.
Having more modes of transport - such as biking, walking, transit, in addition to vehicles will help in easing congestion.
Guess what will happen when you remove or don't add bike lanes? All us bikers will be on road, occupying the space of 1 whole vehicle. Road rage from large vehicle owners will increase, leading to more collisions from them and death of bikers - that blood is on the Ford govt's hands.
Because us poor people don't have a choice, we will need to keep biking - so we will. We will take up the space of vehicles on the road and cause further congestion.
You watch us.
