I whole heartedly disagree…

I whole heartedly disagree with this legislation. There is no evidence that bike lanes contribute to congestion. In fact, research suggests the opposite. They help ease congestion. Why is the government so keen to ignore the data and operate on feelings alone? It’s no secret the premier doesn’t like bikes, but that doesn’t give him the right to make the decision for the rest of us. The province should focus on improving public transit and getting the LRT open instead of maliciously targeting torontonians and their enjoyment of the city. Bike lanes provide a safe and enjoyable way to commute around the city, not just for work but for general every day life. They’re good for exercise, they’re good for getting around the city, and they’re good for giving people alternatives to cars. Incentivizing people to use cars to get around just increases congestion. The province should focus on the construction blocking lanes, bad drivers blocking the box and causing congestion, and construction on the Gardner slowing down traffic. Why should the opinions of bad GTA drivers be the deciding voice on issues directly impacting the life and safety of torontonians? Shame on this provincial government, you’re actively making the lives of ontarians worse with your poorly thought out decisions.
