DO NOT REMOVE THE BIKE LANES…

DO NOT REMOVE THE BIKE LANES!!!

The recent news that Doug Ford is going to remove our city bike lanes is an absolute joke. Bike lines are NOT the reason for the ridiculous congestion in this city. Shitty infrastructure, lack of subway or other public transport options and WAY too many people / cars on the road is. Not to mention the never ending, painfully slow construction everywhere you go. Not only is biking the fastest way to get around in this city, it’s good for local business, improves safety, provides environmental benefits, and gets more cars off the road. Less cars = less congestion. Any suggestion otherwise is an absolute farce and what Ford is doing is completely transparent. He doesn’t give a shit about Torontonians or Toronto.

We are sick of tired of Doug Ford taking out his hatred of this city on the people who live in it. I’ve lived in Toronto’s east end all my life, 35 years, and it is embarrassing what it’s turned into. Overcrowding, inflation, homelessness, violence, lack of leadership or any sort of political cohesiveness, you name it. What our city needs is better healthcare, more housing and cheaper groceries, not wasting taxpayer dollars on removing NEWLY BUILT bike lanes that so many are in support of. The thought of gutting bike lanes that we’ve just spent millions of dollars on makes me want to leave and never come back. Why should I continue to pay taxes to a city that does not care about my well being?

Work together, be better, DO SOMETHING. We’ve put up with enough of this shit for far too long and we deserve more. We are disappointed and we are angry, and that’s putting it mildly. Enough is enough!!!
