Even considering this is…

Even considering this is completely regressive, and flies against its own stated purpose. You can ease congestion by making it safer to use other modes of transportation that take up significantly less road space than single occupancy vehicles. If you continue to build a comprehensive cycling lane network, you’ll have more and more people who feel comfortable and safe using them. I am not anti car, but when people who would like to cycle, or take public transportation choose to take a car because the other aren’t viable, then we’re not working towards building a more livable city.

The fact that the province is stepping in on what should exclusively be Toronto municipal policy and strategy is undemocratic. The province is playing identity politics, pandering to those with an irrational hatred for cyclists. The priority is moving people within the city most effectively and sustainably, not making it easiest for lazy suburbanites who are too lazy to use public transportation free passage in their giant SUVs.
