I get around the city in all…

I get around the city in all sorts of ways—walking, cycling, taking transit, and driving. My family of five lives in Toronto, and my office is in the Junction. My team and clients come by foot, bike, car, TTC, GO/UP, or shared rides like Uber.

Safe options for walking, cycling, and transit are essential—not just for my business, but for the well-being of my staff.

For the most part, we haven’t had major issues driving within the city. The main problem is the increasing traffic volume, especially along the Lakeshore, QEW, and 401, plus all the ramps leading to the highways. Our clients often mention longer commutes and gridlock frustrations.

The surge in construction and roadwork can be overwhelming, and it’s definitely adding to the congestion.

For those in Toronto who don’t have cars, fair and accessible mobility options are crucial. Separated bike lanes are a big part of this—and they’re key to our city’s economic growth.

The environmental benefits of cycling and dedicated bike lanes are huge. Most obviously, they help cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Plus, biking, walking, and transit are more environmentally-friendly choices for Ontario, and they come with mental health and well-being benefits.

Let’s keep Ontario moving with smart, multimodal transit options—including safe, separated bike lanes.
