It is very well documented how the USA has destroyed its cities since the 50s by re-tailoring them for cars instead of people.
And their arguments have been precisely the same this proposal is using, namely disguised under the dogma of time and money savings.
It is ironic this proposal talks about saving money when its goal is to dismantle bike lanes that have been completed less than a year ago. That would really be a waste of money!
I, for one, don't want to make Toronto another usanian city without character and with total disregard to its citizens.
Why don't you look instead to smarter examples than the northametican ones? Why are we here so afraid of adopting solutions made in Europe? Why can't we invest in more, and more efficient, public transportation?
Please, stop this usanian bigotry. Learn about how things work in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Paris or London. Get educated and informed, before deciding to waste our money and our city.
Thanks.
