I use the University bike lanes nearly every day to get to and from my Engineering job. The new lanes have turned biking into the safest, fastest, and cheapest option for me to get around downtown.

Frankly, the expanding bike infrastructure is one of the main reasons I'm considering staying in Toronto long term. It's a sign that infrastructure planning in Toronto is finally considering the people that have to live and walk around in it. If the government of Ontario is willing to rip up a decade of infrastructure improvement to score some cheap political points that's a clear enough signal for me to leave the province for good.

Furthermore, a government that's been incapable of delivering any major infrastructure projects during its tenure has no business trying to get a say in municipal road infrastructure. This government should first figure out how to deliver the Eglinton crosstown and the Ontario line before engaging in more infrastructure work.
