Cycling is one of the…

Cycling is one of the cheapest forms of transit and can be faster than public transit and cars when in the GTA. Instead of bike lanes being removed, more should be built, so the biking network can grow. The bigger the network is, the more it will be used by people because it's a fast and cheap option that also benefits people's physical health.

I, myself, prefer biking over taking a car or public transit, but the lack of safe biking and lack of a full network of bike lanes has been preventing me from cycling, because some places in Toronto cannot be biked to without going on a street with no bike infrastructure, which is unsafe.

This bill will move the cycling infrastructure progress backwards and only worsen traffic as more people are forced to take cars. Instead more bike lanes should be added to important roads so it is possible to use the cycling network to reach more places, which will lower the amount of people that take cars.

Furthermore, cars are expensive, and public transit has become less safe with the increase of homeless people and drug laws becoming more lax.

What causes the most traffic currently are cars, with it usually being one person per giant noisy box vehicle. Why don't we just get more people out of cars and into using alternative methods of transportation instead of promoting car usage which just worsens traffic further?
