Doug Ford. You don't understand city dwellers. Bikes reduce traffic, they don't increase traffic. Do not take these existing and paid-for bike lanes that are protecting the lives of myself and my husband (parents of two young children) every day as we, and so many others commute to work.
Cities worldwide are growing their bike lanes and connections; we are already behind. Dragging us back to the dark ages would be unconscionable and you will evoke the rage of many many people.
Do you know what a critical mass event is? it is when cyclists take over the street and sometimes, they get violent towards problematic drivers, I hope it doesn’t come to that. Are drivers complaining about bikes? They are likely jealous of us as we whizz by them stuck in traffic. If they have a problem, they can buy a bike or an e-bike, get fit, reduce traffic congestion, and reduce body weight while reducing carbon emissions (yep some of us believe they are a problem). It’s not as hard as it may look, not even in winter. Drivers should thank us for being one less car on the road and, so should you rather than attacking our efforts to make the world and our city a better place. Your proposition is embarrassing for you.
Stop pandering to your suburban voters with this pathetic move to claw back bike lanes in Toronto. Stop making our province a less livable place in general by attacking the health care system and teachers while you are at it. I moved back from the US to get away from meat-heads and you're not making it easier with your short-sighted approach.
If you take away these bike lanes, every cyclist who dies will be your fault!
JUST STOP!
