I find this whole process to be anti democratic and counter to the best interests of the people of Toronto who are in the best position to determine their local priorities and how best to meet them. Seizing land and bypassing the provisions of the expropriation Act to build or expand highways, and removing bike lanes that were created as a result of a democratic and consultative process is entirely the wrong direction to take. There are too many tragic stories of cyclists who lost their lives or their mobility as a result of being hit by drivers in situations where the victims were not adequately protected by bike lanes. The answer is not to increase the road capacity for cars at the expense of cyclists. Cars will always fill the existing capacity of the road system and we will be right back to the same jammed conditions as existed before, with the cost borne by cyclists who are helping to keep cars off the road. This is a terrible idea. Please do not proceed.
