What a poorly thought out bill. It makes no sense to me that the province has spent millions on essential infrastructure for the cyclists in our city, only to spend more money to take them down. Studies have proven time and time again that bike lanes reduce congestion/traffic, create an economic boom on streets such as bloor (that has less cars than foot traffic and cyclists as per the bloor bike lane study), reduce cyclist-related injury/death and reduce pollution and smog.
Why are we punishing people that are too poor to afford cars in the city? Why are we forcing these people to rely on an inaccessible and unreliable transit system? Why are we letting the province dictate where bike lanes can go when this is a municipal issue?
There is so much wrong with this, and this is such a clear ploy to appeal to the 905ers next voting season that hate bike lanes. Make it make sense!
