Please don't be foolish. I…

Please don't be foolish. I am giant gearhead and have multiple cars in my family. I love to drive, and do so often, but getting rid of bike lanes will only make everything worse.

I routinely ride my bike to work 3-5 days a week year round, rain, snow and all. I am only able to do so because Waterloo region has dramatically improved the cycling infrastructure and don't have to dodge cars on the road. 80% of my ride is isolated trail.

Then think about students in university areas, I rode my bike throughout university as well, and many students do now. I don't want to have to dodge them when I'm driving either. Bikes will not go away, they'll just contend with cars more.

And what is with the removal of bike lanes on university Ave in toronto, it is so illogical it hurts my brain.

I know the government is getting hammered over gridlocks, roughly so, but this will make things worse, not better, no matter how you name the legislation.

Do better, improve transit, dig more subways without crazy overregulation and insane clown environmental assessments, make good on high speed rail corridor. There is a million ways to improve traffic, this one is a giant footgun and I am not sure what fever pitch dream even made the government consider this.

Stop, get help.
