This proposal will not…

This proposal will not actually reduce gridlock by any means based on several studies done by urban planners. It’s purely a political move for Ford’s personal benefit.

As a resident of Toronto who visits family frequently across the GTA, what my family and. I want most is more regular and interconnected public transit and bike lanes, not more highways.

Most of our highway commutes to and from Toronto would be entirely avoided if we knew we could access a GO Train that would come more frequently and into longer periods in the night.

I would also Iove to bike more to get around in Toronto and to / from suburban go train stations. My main barrier to doing so more often is a fear that I will not be able to get to my destination via safe lanes. I have biked far more in other cities I’ve lived in such as Vancouver and Montreal as it is much safer to do so there. Our cities do not need yet another barrier to getting these lanes in fast / a waste of money, resources, and traffic-including construction to rip them out. We need more safe bike paths throughout.
