This proposal is both…

This proposal is both shortsighted and dangerous. It is also an incredible waste of tax payer money. We should be investing in green, sustainable city practices. World-class cities are not built for cars. World class cities are built for walking, cycling, and public transportation. This obsession with removing bike lanes is a weird Ford-ism, and is NOT supported by me. I am primarily a driver, but also cycle and walk on weekends to do errands. As a driver, I appreciate bike lanes as I do not want to hit cyclists. I also appreciate cyclists as they are not in a car contributing to traffic, and they are not contributing to climate change. Which I, as a driver, am. On the other side, as a cyclist, these bike lanes make me SAFE. They mean I’m not going to be hit on my ride. They mean I’m going to make it home.
As a taxpayer and home owner in Toronto, I am not pleased with the thought that I will be paying to rip out these bike lanes that I just paid to install. It’s outrageous.
I do not support this. I will protest. Rethink this lunacy.
