This legislation represents…

This legislation represents a huge step backward for Ontario.

I need to highlight what you probably truthfully already know - The absurdity and stupidity of scapegoating bike lanes as the cause of traffic.

How do bike lanes on Bloor / Yonge cause the Gardiner to be backed up?

How do bike lanes on Bloor / Yonge cause the DVP or 401 to be backed up?

How does incentivizing MORE cars on the road fix car traffic?

Toronto Bike share is on track for 6 million rides this year and people choose this method of transportation because of bike lanes.

How would putting 6 million more trips by car on the road fix car traffic in Toronto?

Every study and piece of data proves this decision wrong. You mention businesses suffer yet the Bloor BIA is telling you the business is up since the bike lanes have come (https://toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/10/24/annex-businesses-tell-ford…)

It's also evident just by visiting other world class cities that have tons of bike Infrastructure (Paris, New York, London, Tokyo, San Francisco). Shouldn't we be striving to be a world class city / province as well?

How are you so willing to throw tens of millions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet for absolutely no benefit?

You want to cut down on traffic?

1.) Build more transit.
2.) Incentive businesses downtown to offer more work from home opportunities.
3.) Change zoning laws so people don't need to travel as far for basic goods and services.

All of the above are ACTUALLY proven with data to make a difference.

Why does this provincial government choose to govern by "feelings" instead of actual evidence.

What will you say when traffic is just as bad or worse by going forward with this?

Be useful, be productive. This type of garbage, populist politics aids absolutely no one and people don't forget.
