City Of Toronto’s…

City Of Toronto’s implementation of bike lanes are evidence-based. They depend on traffic analysis and proven benefits on travel behaviour and transportation equity. Ask any expert and they will say we need bike lanes to reduce congestion. More people in cars means more traffic. It’s that easy.

This is provincial overreach over an obvious municipal issue. And those who drafted this are not misinformed or stupid - they just don’t care about those seriously injured or killed or those who can’t get around with a car. This is a deliberate decision to jeopardize community safety for the convenience of many people who do not live in Toronto’s denser areas.

This was done because a new project will affect Ford’s neighbourhood. This is not evidence-based. It’s silly that the Minister of Transportation complains about bike lanes in Ontario but is obviously targetting effective ones in Toronto ONLY such as those on University, Bloor, and College. Stop putting more people in danger only to win an election. The lives of people are at stake. 50 years from now history will judge you.
