Comment
Bill 212 overlooks the serious issues causing gridlock in Toronto. These include construction of private developments and the construction of the Eglinton Line and the Ontario line by Metrolinx, the Ontario line being directed by the PC government. Strategies to alleviate the stresses caused by these activities have not been proposed.
Moreover, the bill proposes destroying the cycling infrastructure before replacing it. Please put forward a plan for the replacement lanes prior to demolishing the existing lanes. To do otherwise jeopardizes the safety of cyclists.
Additionally, the City and Province should consider slopes and changes in elevations when proposing cycling infrastructure; the military street grid is not forgiving to cyclists travelling North and South and routes that moderate the slope for cyclists should be encouraged and need not be on major thoroughfares.
