I'm writing in opposition to this bill. The province should not be interfering into Toronto's affairs. Toronto, like many major cities around the world, has decided to be forward thinking and try to support pedestrians and cyclists in its city. Bike lanes help reduce congestion and protect lives. One just has to look at cities around the world, including Paris and New York, to see that bike lanes help make cities more livable and protect lives. How many conservative MPPs actually cycle? Actually live in Toronto? Ford himself, in a CBC program in which he was ridng a bike, said that bike lanes made you feel safer. Such hypocrisy from him and pandering to a suburban voter base is hard to stomach. This bill should not be supported.
