I support evidence based policy. The evidence supports safe cycling infrastructure to both keep everyone on the road safer as well as help get people out of cars to reduce traffic. Removing bike lanes will instead increase travel times, increase harm to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike. This appears to be a move based on feelings and politics rather than facts.

Our government seems to want to increase traffic as building highways will just create more traffic which means we are spending billions to ruin prime farmland and make traffic worse.

I applaud the government for working to build more transit as that is another way to reduce traffic.Providing safe,reliable and affordable alternatives to all the many single drivers in cars is the path forward.

I drive.I bike. I walk. Pitting different modes of transportation against each other is senseless. Facts and case studies should be the main source of any updates to our infrastructure, not ideology.

In a time with increasing costs, supporting low cost transportation like cylcing should be key. When we live in a province where thousands of people die each year from air quality, we should support methods of transportation that do not cause any emissions. With socialized health care, we should also consider the health benefits of biking that will lead to increased fitness as long as we give people a safe place to ride.

In short, any legislation that can not be supported by facts, should not be put forward. More safe separated bike paths,not less. More transit of all methods. Open the 407. Moreover, the people of Toronto support bike lanes with the last mayoral election seeing resounding defeat for the 3 candidates that ran against them
