Unbelievably short-sighted and lacking common sense.

Maybe the transport minister should try to read up on urban planning and phenomena such as induced demand to see that removing bike infrastructure is possibly one of the worst ways to reduce traffic in Toronto. Obviously they don't understand these concepts as their only bright ideas for reducing traffic is adding more lanes to the 401 so more cars can get stuck in gridlock in downtown Toronto. Why would we ever increase GO Train/Bus availability and alternative methods of transportation that isn't 1 person in a car.

Whatever happened to Vision Zero in Toronto? We'll make the city safer for pedestrians and cyclists by removing infrastructure designed to protect them from vehicles. Seems like a good idea to me.

Doug and the Transport Minister could learn something by trying to comprehend what people who actually care about their city and it's livability are trying to communicate to them.

I got here from a video by "Oh The Urbanity!" on YouTube and have been a consistent viewer of another channel called "Not Just Bikes". I've linked the video and the channel to this comment.
