I am quite disturbed by another example of provincial government overreach on municipalities, especially when they get so uptight on the mere mention of the federal government doing the same. As an equity and affordability issue, giving people the option to bike safely is fundamental. Most large cities prioritize transit, walking and cycling because it doesn’t make sense for most to drive. Also, people mention that people don’t cycle in winter. This isn’t true as Toronto’s winters have become more mild other than a couple weeks of a severe cold snap. In addition, for the people who live or work downtown, I want to be able to take a walk without breathing in so much exhaust from all the cars, give people alternatives. Let the municipalities research the data and use evidence based research on where to build their bike lanes and stay in your “lane”.
