I live in Etobicoke. I drive…

I live in Etobicoke. I drive a car and ride a bike and believe that the area needs more safe ways for cyclists to get around, as opposed to less. Bike lanes are the future. As Toronto continues to grow and become more dense, we need alternatives for transportation. Of course, we need to be smart about how and where bike lanes are implemented, but as a general rule the infrastructure needs to be exist first in order to shift the culture over time. Bike lanes are not the source of Toronto’s traffic issues and are being unfairly scapegoated, in this case for political gain. The level of overreach here on part of the province is not welcome. The province has its plate full with its own issues to address.
