Ripping out bike…

Ripping out bike infrastructure in favour of cars is arbitrary and backward. It is unbelievable that people believe that a 2-3 meter wide bike lane used by thousands of people every single day is useless and causes congestion. This infrastructure has just been established and bike usage has been skyrocketing in Toronto these last couple years. For example, Bike Share Toronto is expected to have millions of rides this year! What reasonable civil servant would rip out infrastructure that has great utility and will be used by millions of people? For a conservative individual, you would think Doug Ford would be a proponent of small government and letting the city do its job, but I suppose not. Furthermore, by getting rid of these bike lanes you will just ensure that these bikes will be riding alongside cars slowing them down and making streets more deadly.
