I am very disaapointed to hear about the items in this bill.
Firstly the 413 is not necessary and will further accelerate more suburban style housing which this region cannot build anymore of. 70 years of suburban and highway development has basically put us in this mess of having some of the worst traffic in North America. Do we want to continue building with the same strategies that will further increase car use and overflow local roads and connecting highways. This is a mistake.
In regards to bike lanes, we know that once they are removed, traffic or congestion in the area won't really improve much at all. If you have been in the area prior to the bike lane installation, cars were always parking in the right lane even when they weren't allowed too because well, there are people that feel like they are above everyone else and that their needs are more important. Not only that, there are subway lines under the lanes that the Ford Gov't wants to remove. There is definitely people capacity along these routes, no one needs to drive along them. Indeed, we have had 6 people die in this city while riding their bikes. No one should have to die or be injured anywhere just because they choose to use their preferred method of transportation. When has the safety been trumped by people who want to use one of the less efficient modes of transportation in the city?
I know that what I have wrote won't matter as the decision has already been made not by facts or reasoning, but ideology. This is all just a waste money and time which is better spent on more important things in this province.
