I am a physician who lives…

I am a physician who lives and works in Toronto and commute by bike year round. I am frankly dismayed and somewhat bewildered by this move from the Ontario government to limit bike lanes. I believe that streets should be made for people, and not just those who can afford to drive. I believe that what "saves us time" is safe, reliable public transportation options.

The idea of people from outside of Toronto making decisions about what Toronto should or shouldn't do with its money and its roads, following a process of local needs assessments and consultations, seems to me a major jurisdictional overreach contradicting Doug Ford's earlier comment with respect for fourplex development: "I believe in letting municipalities determine what is good for their communities and what is not good for their communities".
