We should be proposing…

We should be proposing changes to our province that encourage alternate ways of getting around to cars, especially in a major city. If you look at big cities around the world, they have all embraced public transit and biking over cars, they have even gone as far as to have tolls or other means to discourage driving in the city. If we still want to focus on car traffic, there are studies from other major cities that show that bike lanes do not create more traffic, they reduce the number of cars on the road. If you make it easier for cars to get around there will just be more cars, it won't actually solve the traffic issue and it will make biking less safe.

Giving the province control over bike lanes in Toronto is a mistake. We should be focussing on reducing cars and making it easier for people to use other more environmentally friendly modes of transport.
