Toronto's current bikelane infrastructure is essential to providing a safe, convenient method of travel for city residents. My rent is so astronomically high that I cannot afford to own a car, nor do I have a parking spot for a car. My electric bike gets me to my office in twenty minutes when the bus/subway takes 40 minutes. If none of us could bike anymore driving a car to work would take even longer in increased traffic. Research clearly shows that adding car lanes does NOT reduce traffic... case in point the 401. It barely snows anymore in Toronto so cycling has become an affordable all-season transit method for me. It is BONKERS in 2024 to take away bike lanes in a major city instead of adding more. Doug Ford and company, stop trying to force everyone to drive just because you do. This is unfathomable and outrageous. I've always been conservative but you're working real hard to get me to vote liberal here.
