This is such a waste of public money and resources. We need bikes lanes and we do not need extra bureaucracy standing in the way of bike lanes. I commute on a bike and use a bike for errands, it is safer to have bike lanes. Drivers do not share the road. I can no longer count the number of times that I have almost been hit because the driver is doing something illegal or is being impatient. In a collision between a car and a bike, who is going to be unharmed? The driver of the car. The cyclist will likely be dead.
The bike lanes on University in Toronto are fantastic. It is not the bike lanes that are the problem for congestion. It is the construction for the underground transit projects. That construction is supposed to be temporary.
Highway 413 is a waste as well. It will permanently scar our landscape, kill animals and habitats, destroy farm land and lives. We do not need more highways. We need better ways to move people - trains, busses, e-bikes, cycling infrastructure.
Unfortunately, the current government is only beholden to its capitalist friends and cannot see the future. Perhaps it should actually be a government for the people, not just wealthy capitalist people.
