Transit infrastructure works…

Transit infrastructure works better if it gives people options. The existing infrastructure favours cars and only cars. With the cost of living crisis, purchasing, insuring and maintaining a car is not feasible for many Ontarians.

By ripping out existing infrastructure and imposing restrictions on a municipality's ability to built bike lanes, it will only make the roads less safe for anyone who cannot own a car. Bikes and scooters are just as much part of traffic as motor vehicles and pedestrians are. Planning roads without them in mind will leave everyone vulnerable to accidents.

Gridlock would be better alleviated by taking full advantage of all our existing transit infrastructure, particularly rail lines. The GTA in particular would be tremendously helped by two-way service of GO Trains and 24-hour service of the subway on weekends.
