A completely asinine and…

A completely asinine and half baked idea meant solely to pander to Ford's political base. Cyclists have a right to be safe on the roads and removing bike lanes to create more lanes for cars will have zero effect on reducing gridlock. Study after study have shown that the most effective way to reduce gridlock is to remove cars from the road, and creating, rather than destroying cycling infrastructure, is the best way to do that. To absolutely no one's surprise, however, Ford is yet again showing his utter contempt and disregard for experts who dedicate their careers studying these topics, all in the name of winning an election. Beyond the sheer stupidity of shirking mountains of data opposing this idiotic decision (and spending millions of tax dollars to rip up bike lanes that in some cases were recently completed), this bill further degrades our ability to choose more eco-conscious means of transportation as we approach a climate change tipping point. Finally, not a single person has ever travelled to a world-class city (all of which promote rather than deter bicycles) and thought "you know what his place needs less of? Cycling infrastructure".
