Removing bike lanes when studies show that they've increased safety and provide economic benefits to neighborhoods is asinine.

As a delivery courier, both bike and truck, removing these lanes would be a mistake, simple as. They keep cyclists safely in the bike lanes where we're/they're more predictable and visible. Having no lane would return said lane mostly to parked cars which would have cyclists take the only remaining lane. Traffic would weave in and out of lanes more chaotically and random junctures increasing the likelihood of collisions.

Highway 413 might be seen as a necessary project but doing so without assessing the surrounding environment puts various wildlife at risk and can have long lasting effects to the Humber River watershed. I happen to enjoy the Humber River and after what's happened with the chemical spill in Mimico Creek, I've been more concerned and observant about waterways.

Providing broadband to rural communities is good. That should be a separate bill.
