This is a foolish proposal…

This is a foolish proposal solely aimed at gaining suburban votes. The only way to truly reduce congestion is by removing cars from the roads - a goal achievable through better public transit and active transportation infrastructure.

Earlier this year, I witnessed the death of a cyclist on Bloor St. The cause of this was that the bike lane was blocked and the cyclist had to enter the active traffic lane. This tragedy is just going to become more and more common if existing bike lanes are removed. Taking bikers of the streets is also simply going to increase the vehicular congestion on our roads and overcrowding in the subways.

I imagine Premier Ford won’t heed any of this common sense feedback however, as this comment process is solely to assuage regulatory procedures and not actually consider what the vast majority of what downtown residents want.
