Hello, This is a misguided…

This is a misguided proposition, the province does not need to get involved in the local affairs of bicycle transportation lanes. The province just cut red tape by reducing the involvement of the province in local housing approvals, they should reduce gridlock by enabling cities to continue building multimodal infrastructure without government meddling.

I am a new resident of Toronto and I do not have a car. I have noticed that there are 5 to 6 bikes at an intersection with 5 to 6 cars as well, and that in itself is reducing the car traffic by half. In more car-centric societies like the U.S. everyone drives and traffic is at a standstill in cities like Atlanta and Los Angeles. Building 413 helps drivers and building bike lanes at the same time means we are expanding capacity in all directions for a bigger and brighter Ontario. A well-rounded and efficient transportation system means building for bikers, drivers, and transit riders. The lanes on Bloor handle thousands of bikes each day and that in itself reduces traffic, think of it that way! Don't fall into the trap of making transportation partisan, because everyone bikes around our beautiful province in every direction.
