Cities requiring approval…

Cities requiring approval from the province to make changes to their transportation infrastructure is ridiculous. Adding hoops to jump through slows the process of making cycling safe and accessible for all. Toronto is still growing massively, if every person who lived in the city and moved into every new development were forced to drive a car, nobody would be getting anywhere. Making cycling a viable alternative to driving is a must if you truly want to reduce gridlock.

On top of that with the cost of living going up, car ownership is becoming impossible for more and more people. I'd love to see the TTC be a decent alternative but prices have gone up, reliability isn't anywhere near where it should be, expansions are years away (looking at you Eglington), and there are maniacs walking up and down the trains every day. Cycling can fill this void for people who want a safe, reliable, and cheap way to get to where they want to be. Don't get in the way of that.
