Cycling has become my family…

Cycling has become my family's number one way of getting around Toronto with our 3 yr old son. The availability of cycling infrastructure allows us to do this safely and reduces congestion because then we are one last car on the road. We cycle to work, to pick up our son, to go to events in the city etc.

Many of the bike lanes have also only recently been installed using tax payers dollars. To rip them out is a huge insult to tax payers everywhere, the environment, urban planners and data that says they help reduce congestion, not the opposite.

I find this bill and the abuse of powers in it disturbing.

If the government wants to bury a removal of environmental protections to build highway 413 behind, do so honestly without making Toronto less liveable and less safe for me and countless families in the city.
