This bill goes against progress towards a more sustainable future; hinders Ontarians freedom of choice of movement; and discourages healthy active lifestyles among our population. Fords government is out of touch with the people of downtown Toronto who actively support these fantastic bike lane projects. Bike share ridership is at an all time high in the city of Toronto and polls for bike commuting in the province are currently flawed (too many exemptions when deciding what counts as a commute). Studies have also found that despite what the Ford government says, bike lanes actually have a positive economic effect on businesses along Toronto bike routes. The Ford government should not be hindering municipalities from developing in ways that benefit their citizens by using bureaucracy and red tape to reverse transit projects.
