I object strongly to ripping out existing bike lines, and the interference of provincial government in municipal affairs. Municipal council knows much better the needs of its communities. Doug Ford has been to my community maybe twice in the past year so his suggestion that we rip out bike lanes are are used is off-side. He has NO IDEA how we live every day. Not a clue. He doesn't have a clue what the causes of congestion are here.
In addition, I've counted the number of bikes on a lot of our roads compared to vehicles and often it's the same or maybe a bit more. The difference is bikes take up far less room than vehicles so it looks like "no one" is using the bike lanes when in fact there are the same number. I would be interested to see how municipal planners are tracking use of bike lanes so we have some quantifiable data to discuss instead of this insane proposal.
Doug, focus on fixing health care and education. Here's another tip: Physical exercise, like riding bikes, contributes to cardiac health. Taking cars off the road reduces air pollution, contributing to cardiac health.
If you want to fix congestion, look at traffic lights - I was in Mississauga on the weekend and I hit EVERY SINGLE RED LIGHT between the 401 and my destination. Sometimes I was stopped for 2 minutes as the light cycled to let one car through.
If you want to fix congestion, fix public transit. It is RIDICULOUS that we cannot get efficient train service across this province.
Using my tax dollars to rip out infrastructures my tax dollars paid for is not fiscally responsible.
