It is extremely regressive…

It is extremely regressive to attempt to damage active infrastructure in any major city, using it as distraction to force a lack of environmental oversight on a major highway project is appalling and deceptive. Beyond the environment, this is a gross overstep of the provincial government attempting to take control from municipalities and cities, which need to develop in their own context without adding additional red tape and government waste. Was it not the provincial PCs who vowed to reduce red tape? And yet here you are attempting to increase it for sake of your own manipulative goals.

There is abundant scientific evidence indicating that bike lanes are a BENEFIT to easing traffic. What ever happened to “You’re nervous when there’s no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to do everything we can to make sure there’s never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders." - Doug Ford 2017.

Protected lanes protect cyclists, and if you continue to support this initiative, more cyclists will die.

Can you look these families in the eye and say that their children deserve it? That the little protection they have should taken away, putting them more at risk?

Appalling behaviour, I expect better from elected officials.
