I'm EXTREMELY disappointed…

I'm EXTREMELY disappointed that the Province of Ontario would think removing bike lanes would do anything to improve gridlock.

The population of Toronto has growth significantly over the last number of years, as you are aware, and to accommodate this growth we need to prioritize active and public transportation NOT getting residents to travel around by car. Cars take up the most space on our roads, contribute to CO2, do not promote a healthy population, and cause pedestrian and cyclist fatalities. I have no idea why the province would want to promote this type of transportation rather than putting in place investments and policies than promote public transportation and active transportation. From my perspective, we should be investing provincial resources to promote this type of transportation. We should be making it easy for residents to cycle to their destinations by adding bike lanes throughout the City of Toronto.

Furthermore, why is the province overstepping into municipal governance. The City of Toronto is responsible for the roads and movement of residents within the city, NOT the province.
