As the populations grows in the city of Toronto, we need alternative ways to get around. Cycling has always been a very efficient, cost effective and enjoyable way to get around the city. The bike lanes have enabled more people to bike safely including kids and the elderly. The removal of bike lanes has not only a cost impact but also a negative impact on the quality of life for people who live in the city.
Funds should be spent on supporting those people who drive to have viable alternatives to getting into a car. This includes expediting transit, creating more accessible parking near major subways stations and ensure that the TTC and Go trains run on time and have capacity to bring people into our city.
As a tax payer, I am prefer the government to think more strategically about how money is spent. Thinking broadly about improving people's health by giving them the ability to cycle safely and reduce the cost to our healthcare because people are more active and there is less pollution in the air.
