"Saving You Time" Act - who is "You"? Sounds like it's only intended to help private car owners. How does ripping up bike lanes and preventing new ones save time for the many thousands who choose to bike round the city? They have to get into cars, taxis and Ubers instead ... and create MORE gridlock. Or keep riding bikes in traffic and risk their lives.
This is a terrible, terrible idea from a provincial premier, whose job is to govern for ALL of us, not just himself and other car owners. It goes against all evidence of road usage and road safety.
It's been proven in cities all over the world that increasing safety and access for cyclists reduces car-based gridlock. If Toronto wants to reduce gridlock, it can:
- Ban on-street parking, where one or two lanes are held hostage to giant lumps of metal,
- Add more bike lanes,
- Finish the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch LRT and put in a Lakeshore East LRT,
- Stop building suburban housing sprawl.
