I believe that this proposal…

I believe that this proposal goes against the common goal of making Toronto a safer and more inclusive city for all our residents. It also continues to prioritize and increase our reliance on cars. As our population grows, it is unrealistic and unsustainable to continue to gear all our infrastructure towards drivers. We need to incentivize alternate modes of transportation and cycling is one of the healthiest, most efficient and cost-effective modes imaginable. The proposal to remove the already-installed bike lanes is baffling considering that the majority of them did not remove a traffic lane but rather a parking lane. Why are stopped cars a higher priority than the safety of cyclists?

It is hard to understand why Premier Doug Ford believes that he is governing the City of Toronto considering that we did not elect him as our Mayor. Please, Ford -- stay in your lane. Focus on improving our health care and education systems and leave our city alone.
