As someone who has, in recent years, easily and happily navigated the streets of Toronto, Hamilton, and New York City on foot, bicycle, and with public transit, I cannot fathom the logic of this Framework. Favour motorized vehicles over bicycles? More space for cars equals improved traffic (and not, as has been proven, yet more cars)?

How sad and pathetic to propose the removal of bike lanes to help cars race more quickly around our city. Shame on the government of Ontario for even considering such a move back into the dark ages.
