To Doug Ford and/or his party members, I hope you have some the research to support this bill. Mostly because there is no research to support this bill so either you are a hypocrite or you do not care about the safety of your constituents. Which one do you choose? There have been so many cyclists killed on Toronto streets because there is a lack of sufficient bike infrastructure. And that means infrastructure on key roads that are accessible to cyclists. Firstly, reducing car lanes is a strategy that so many cities (including Toronto) have employed to improve the safety of everyone, regardless of bike lanes. It is safer to make streets narrower and reduce speed, yet you want to increase lanes? Next you'll say you want to increases the speed limits back to 50km/h because of congestion? Here's a hint, make transit work (like the Eglinton crosstown, or bloor subway, for examples). This will solve a congestion problem by, wait for it, reducing the cars on the road. Those in suburbs should not dictate how Toronto roads are designed, and we all know your votes come from the suburbs. So the right thing, not the "Right" thing. Please, use objective facts to make policies, not campaign promises.
