I am completely appalled and dismayed at this completely backwards and dangerous proposal. Evidence clearly states that encouraging people to use alternatives to cars for transportation, makes car transportation more efficient by removing cars from the road. It’s a simple fact, proven with research. I guarantee this plan will backfire horrendously when you have cyclists taking the entire roadway instead of staying in their designated lane, which you’re proposing to remove. Complete nonsense. I know the Ford family has a chronic contempt for anyone who doesn’t drive a car, with the late rob ford telling Toronto city council that cyclists deserve to be run over for using our roads. While entitled, violent and murderous motorists exist all over this province, this creates more potential for criminal road rage conflicts on our roads, putting non-motorists in grave danger. On the other hand there are many drivers who simply aren’t filled with such selfish entitled rage, traffic for cars will get much worse since they will be trailing behind the cyclists who are now forced to take the whole road at 10 km/h. This proposal and this government are downright idiotic, contemptuous, reactive, dangerous, and unproductive. NOT TO MENTION A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS MONEY AND INCONVENIENCE TO BE REMOVING EXPENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT AFTER IT WAS BUILT. This is in no doubt motivated by the only thing that motivates this disgraceful government: misappropriating public funds and resources to put it in the pockets of your elite friends. You disgust me to the core.
