This is absolutely…

This is absolutely ridiculous. The provincial government has no business deciding on municipal matters like bike lines on the roads. For the party that advocates for small government they sure have no problem overreaching in Toronto. Should we remove the bike lanes in every city because Ford doesn't like them?

Not to mention bike lanes help congestion not hurt them by getting more people out of their cars and onto bikes. It also keeps them out of car lanes where they do more to slow things down.

Furthermore it's an issue of safety. Bikes are simply not cars and pretending they are only causes frustrated drivers and accidents when bikers get hit by several thousand pounds of metal.

Anyone that's travelled outside of Canada knows that our public transit infrastructure isn't just bad but straight embarrassing compared to the rest of the world. How about Ford focuses on getting the Eglinton line open? Or the subway improvements destroying Queen Street? Or maybe we could finally run the go trains consistently on all the lines which doesn't require any new infrastructure and would do far more for congestion than anything else.

Olivia Chow said it best: "stay in your lane".
