As a resident of Toronto I am completely against this proposal. This is a government overreach into controlling how cities make the best choices possible for their residents, and this type of heavy handed governing by the Premier is completely antithetical to what the Conservative Party should stand for. These bike lanes have been an overwhelming success, working to create safe routes of travel for the thousands of residents in Toronto who do not rely on cars each day. It also makes pedestrians feel safer, reduces traffic noise, and encourages everyone to live more active and healthy lifestyles by creating a safe place to bike. As a driver, separating the bikes from direct traffic feels far safer as well. Not to mention, this proposal includes horrific legislation that would allow the provincial government to take your land without question if it’s for the purpose of highway construction. As the daughter of farmers, who used to beleive the Conservative Party cared about rural Canadians, this type of overreach to expatriate rural owned lands is deplorable and disgraceful. Doug ford should be ashamed of himself for completely going against the ethos of his own party just to feed his ego. I do not support this proposal, and will not be voting conservative next election because of this proposal.
