I am absolutely FURIOUS over the Ontario government's overreach in trying to take out Toronto's major bike lanes.
I stopped riding my bike many years ago because it was too dangerous. I was in too many near-collisions to feel safe using it as my mode of transportation anymore. However, when the bike lanes got put in -- especially the Bloor lanes -- I started riding again, and cycling now once again serves as my main form of transportation.
The idea that this move by the Ford government, purely to curry political favour with suburban residents, would cost provincial taxpayers $48 million is outrageous.
Bike lanes help the environment, decrease deaths, and create community within our city leading to a more vibrant economy. It would be unconscionable to remove them against the City's will.
