I am not someone that…

I am not someone that usually comments on legislation, but I feel very passionately about bike infrastructure, and the specific mention of ripping out the new(ish) bike lanes on Yonge, University, and Bloor in Toronto doesn’t seem to make sense. It seems like so much of the reason why these bike lanes want to be removed is due to low usage, but when starting to make the bike network it was understood that we wouldn’t see its maximum potential as far as usage until the network started nearing completion, but we are not near that point yet, with a lot of fragmented and disconnected segments that would need to be finished before we can start seeing the return on investment. I don’t understand why we would actively try to go backwards saying that we’ve built doesn’t work when we haven’t finished building all of the connections needed to make it a finished network. I am disgusted as to what this would entail for Toronto and the rest of the province, as someone who spends a great deal of time in both Guelph and Toronto.
