Hello, I strongly disagree…

Hello,

I strongly disagree and am not in support of this bill.

It has been extensively studied and is very well known that the only way to solve traffic is to allow alternative modes of transportation other than taking a car. Cycling falls under this category and is a net benefit to the city.

Cars take up too much space on the roads and adding more lanes or building more highways will just lead to more congestion. Cycling is a great mode of transportation for those who want to travel short distance. Instead of taking up space on the road with a car, they just take up a tiny amount of space.

Cycling has also been becoming more and more popular in Toronto. The notion of no one is using the bike lanes is false. I have seen clips of more cyclist than cars on Bloor Street. We just never notice them because they are not large and not stuck in traffic!

If the government was serious in solving congestion then the number one thing would be to invest in public transit. Around 400,000 vehicles use highway 401 daily, which takes up an enormous amount of space. The Yonge subway gets over a million on a daily basis. Why hasn’t the government answered why the Eglinton Crosstown hasn’t opened up but they feel the need to remove some bike lanes? Every world class city has a solid cycling and public transit infrastructure. This bill is currently an embarrassment to the province.
