As usual this Doug Ford conservative government are demonstrating their complete commitment to destroying any moves towards supporting the environment. Let’s be honest that’s what bike Lanes are for! It’s to encourage people to ride instead of getting in a gas guzzling car that carries usually only a single person. A vehicle which could carry five or six people usually but contains one and spews CO2 emissions along the way.
The other shocking thing about this bill is that you would actually reverse decisions that a city has made after a well thought out plan and a lot of money spent!
Removing bike lanes and not allowing them in future is overstepping in a big way and none of Provincial government/Doug Ford’s business.
I do like the idea of the province buying back the 407 and honestly, you should just make both highways low-cost tow highways If the money is short. If it’s not short, then both should be free. The 407 never should’ve been sold in the first place that was sheer. idiocy of whatever provincial government was in place during that time. Almost as idiotic as ripping out well thought out, already constructed bike lanes that make cyclists feel safer and make our City more environmentally attractive and also more world class: have you ever been to Austria or Amsterdam ? They have it right- They have been making it attractive for cyclist and the whole city for years, and everybody owns a bike there! And everybody knows the North Americans suffer more obesity than Europeans. And that’s because they get out of their cars once in a while
