Simply put, bike lanes save…

Simply put, bike lanes save lives. According to this bill, that is irrelevant. All that matters is car traffic. Removing bike lanes won't do much to improve that, but it will put my and many other cyclists' lives at risk.

As a lawyer, the overreach into municipal expertise and jurisdiction is breathtaking. Not to mention the trampling of the will of the people of the City of Toronto and other municipalities. And the waste of money, because certainly when Mr. Ford leaves office, the next provincial government will undo this. And the worsening of climate change as more people choose cars over bikes to get around.

I am deeply opposed to this bill.
