As someone who mostly travels by bicycle in Toronto, I voted for municipal politicians who know the city best and are able to best decide where it is best to add complete streets with bicycle lanes in the city. Without bicycle lanes and complete streets in the city of Toronto I feel unsafe commuting by bicycle.
I do not support the province legislating where there may be bicycle lanes. Bicycles lanes built in Toronto have created a safe and efficient way for thousands to travel through the city without owning a car and contributing towards the car traffic in the city. City officials have said that emergency response times have not been impacted by bicycle lanes.
I do not think owning a car should result in an individual being given more road space than other road users such as pedestrians, bicyclist and transit users. Roads need to be able to provide to the needs of all users including cyclists, pedestrians and transit users.
Please invest in transit funding instead which would help reduce gridlock given that individual occupancy cars are very inefficient for moving large numbers of people.
