This policy shocked me as provinces in no way should be interfering with something SO local to Toronto, our bike lanes. Although I am not a cyclist, I would like to cycle, but in the suburbs of Toronto, there are not enough bike lane connections to get me far.
Toronto alone in 2024 had SIX cyclists KILLED on our roads. This is a clear sign that we need MORE, not less protection for cyclists. I was surprised that the Ontario government used false and outdated statistics to base their argument for this Bill, bike ridership is on the rise in Toronto, especially with the expanded bike share network. However, this province is doing Torontonians a failure.
This will make Toronto's journey to a modern city into a joke. Even if bikelanes were on side streets, there are no good sidestreets to replace Yonge, University or Bloor.
This is populous policy, it is corrupt government and I am ashamed of Doug Ford's tactic to win voters at the expense of Toronto's goals for a sustainable and innovative future. This policy will bring more gridlock to Toronto, waste MY and millions of other's taxpayer dollars on REVERSING OUR PROGRESS. UNBELIEVEABLE.
Shame to his corruption and lack of education.
