This is an undemocratic, overbearing decision. Where is the legislation to block the condo developers from taking up lanes and blocking traffic from their trucks--a constant in Toronto. The Ontario Line has taken out a lane on the Danforth and elsewhere throughout the city. Why isn't the Eglinton line running? Where is the anger and legislation to lessen the people driving in the core, why not legislation to cut the number of delivery trucks and construction vehicles that spew toxic fumes into our air? Focusing on cyclists as the problem for traffic is dangerous to cyclists--both in promoting more resentment and hostility from drivers and to the bodily injury to cyclists that will happen when the lanes are removed. As a driver I appreciate that cyclists have their own lane so that I don't need to be constantly checking for and swerving around them in our tight city roads. As a cyclist I feel SAFE riding when there are designated bike lanes. We still need to ride along the major roads. Do you think cyclists don't need to go down those corridors--like we live in an alternate reality? Now we will have to ride in danger.
This autocratic legislation is disgusting.
