I empathize with drivers…

I empathize with drivers that are frustrated but taking away the cities autonomy to build bike lanes where they are needed is not the solution. Change is hard but the reality is that as our city grows, we need new strategies. Helping people feel safe biking to encourage commuting that way is a great one. I have lived in Toronto for 8 years and the addition of new bike lanes has drastically changed how I get around. Much of ontario, including Toronto is the perfect environment for biking. It’s flat and not too hot or cold (especially with global warming). The provincial government should focus on finishing the construction of the new train lines and let municipalities do there thing with bike lanes. A train + bike commute is a much better one than driving in traffic with regards to the environment and people’s happiness and health.
