I am against this bill. Nikes lanes make the city safer and greener. Research show that removing bike lanes will not improve city traffic. Encouraging more people to use bikes as their primary mode of transportation WILL decrease city car traffic. And it will go a long way toward saving our planet.
Additionally, many people use the argument that bike lanes increase emergency vehicle response time. This has been proven to be false. Many emergency response units have stated that bike lanes have not impacted their response times.
But most importantly, this bill seeks to enable the construction of highway 413, a highway that premier Ford PROMISED he would not go forward with. This highway will cost millions and will destroy important ecosystems. Again, this is a bill that serves to destroy plans for a healthier planet for the sake of lining premier Ford’s pockets.
I do not support this bill and I hold Ford to his promise to heed environmental consultations against highway 413.
