I am someone who regularly commutes between the downtown core of Toronto, the suburbs of Scarborough, Aurora and Mississauga.
I drive, ttc and go regularly and I cannot understand how this government still operates like its the 1950s.
Instead of wasting more time/money and precious green space on a highway that is only being built to appease political donors who got their hand caught in the greenbelt cookie jar, I'd rather the money be spent on expanding transit options (service has actually gotten worse after the pandemic), increasing service and properly funding the expansion and improvements sorely needed (and you might want to finish certain projects before starting new ventures * oh say the eglinton LRT for starters*.
This highway plan is a joke - and how convenient that all the surrounding lands will suddenly be available for development!
As for the bike lane removal - as a DRIVER, I like the bike lanes and actually want them expanded. It keeps me moving faster as I don't have to keep watching for people darting in and out of my lane and most importantly, makes travel safer for all.
If this was truly about improving traffic and not corruption, the province might look at banning parking on certain main thoroughfares instead, as parked cars are usually the lane blockers.
I've never voted conservative in my life in part due to regressive policies such as these that take us backwards instead of into the future.
Regressive conservatives - shame on you all!
