I am in absolute disbelief…

I am in absolute disbelief that the Ford government would try to go ahead with getting rid of existing bike lane infrastructure in Toronto - finally after so many years. While the bike lanes on Bloor are not perfect they are a far step above of what used to be there. In fact, Bloor St., since the bike lanes, has been less congested from my daily experience of cycling there than prior to having bike lanes. To suggest that bike lanes are creating congestion is ludicrous and wrong. In Ford's proposal there is no discussion about creating better transit and reducing vehicular traffic that increased tenfold during the pandemic. I do know this is a political move but it is one that will actually create more gridlock and ultimately grind this city to a halt. As a cyclist and a driver I think this is a very impulsive and destructive move/proposal. Toronto goes two steps forward then once again a thousand steps backward. Not a world class city at all.
