Shame on the transport…

Shame on the transport minister!!

All around North America professional transport opinion is evolving to move away from driving to transit and biking. Meanwhile, the most populous province in Canada is trying to prevent progress on the future.

We’re in the middle of the climate crisis. We are in the middle of a traffic crisis. We need to give people sustainable alternatives to driving. The fact that a dense city like Toronto has transit the envy of most cities in North America really should afford it to do whatever it pleases with its streets. Heck we should prevent single occupancy vehicles in most streets in the city. The privilege motor vehicles have is not fairly paid for. Instead we pay for it in lives lost due to traffic violence and pollution.

This bill is a shame. Get rid of it. Fund transit. Fund cycling. Fund alternatives.
