This proposal is discriminatory. It prioritizes the right of drivers over that of cyclists in use of public pathways. It claims to aim at fixing gridlocks, but intends to do so solely at expense of the safety of cyclists and at no cost to motorists which are treated as though were the owners of the roads. The justifications are entirely absurd, obviously political, and based on no proper studies. The province is overriding jurisdictions to revert a handful of recently constructed bike lanes in favour of motorists without even considering *any* restrictions on vehicles themselves. There are no thoughts on restricting the ever growing car sizes, limiting the number of vehicles entering the city during working hours, promoting car sharing by levying charges to single passenger cars. Any hillbilly has a god given right to drive a three ton tank into the core of downtown from anywhere in the conservative voting suburbs without feeling stupid when cyclist zoom by. It’s pathetic. Toronto is turning into a 3rd world city rapidly in about every aspect and here comes an imbecilic idea which has identified the one tiny area where the progress hasn’t been downright negative and try to revert it.
