I'm horrified at this bill…

I'm horrified at this bill and the thought of losing bike lanes that cost money and time to install. It is 2024, and we are experiencing the effects of climate change. Traffic is a disaster because there are too many individual cars on our streets and roads. Public transit is horrifically underfunded and has become unreliable. Nearly 1/3 of Toronto households do not have a car.

One of the few notable pieces of progress made toward transportation in Toronto since 2020 has been the installation of bike lanes. They make biking a safer and more accessible alternative to driving.

If you remove bike lanes, there will be more cars on the road, and our already overburdened and underfunded public transit will be even more crowded.

If you remove bike lanes, you will be contributing further to the devastating impact of climate change and openly demonstrating that you lack the common sense to understand that it is 2024, not 1964. Our needs have changed. Viable alternatives to driving equals fewer cars on the road. Fewer cars on the road equals less traffic congestion, and fewer deaths.

If you remove bike lanes, you will be responsible for the increase in deaths that will follow. And you will be seen, rightly, as an embarrassment of a provincial government, stuck in the past, meddling in municipal affairs, and picking on vulnerable road users as a way of airing your weird personal grievance against Toronto.
