Why is Doug Ford trying to force the people of Toronto to live in the manner that people in the suburbs want to live in. The People of Toronto like to have safe streets and options for moving about. The only people opposed to the bike lanes are the people who are insisting on commuting into the city by car. Why is this even a thing. I am sorry this is 2024 not 1974. This is a short sighted initiative that will only cause issues into the future. The Future is not seeing multi lane roadways through major cities. More and more young people are buying Condos that do not even have parking spaces. The Safety and enjoyment of the residents who live in Toronto should come before the "driving" needs of those commuting into the city. Its time to place tolls on the roads and have people who insist on driving pay the full cost of maintaining those roads and dealing with the pollution they cause. We can use that money to create a better subway system. Cars are not the transportation choice of the future and Droug Ford needs to understand this. Yes you build it they will come.......but that also works for other means of transportation, not just roads and highways.
