A 13 year old girl was killed on Nov 7th while in a separated bike lane by a careless driver making a turn through the bike lane crosswalk and you want to tear the ones down in Toronto and go back to bike deaths every few days? I would be permantly partially disabled if it wasn't for cycling and I can see as an automotive appraiser for one of the largest insurance companies in Canada that even with cars becoming safer drivers are becoming worse as they are relying on the vehicles more, and even with all of Ajax's bike infrastructure and being "silver status" as a cycling community (which is pitiful if it's still true) people are still getting hit and killed. I've even had close calls while in the bike lanes and eventually I will be buying a action camera to start recording all of the careless drivers to submit them to the police or media because it is a complete disregard of life for someone else's convenience of driving. This bill is a mistake.
