This proposal is ludacris…

This proposal is ludacris for so many reasons and is a gross overstepping of established roles and responsibilities between the Province and City. The Province should not be dictating how a local municipality allocates road space, especially for vulnerable users. Additionally, there is no evidence that would speak to your proposals to remove bike lanes actually doing anything other than further increasing congestion. If you want to help reduce gridlock, then you should be prioritizing congestion charges and tolls on the Gardiner and DVP to reduce incoming traffic volumes and shift people to use GO Transit.

Further, your nonsensical approach will get people seriously injured or killed as cyclists and pedestrians will be losing out on much needed infrastructure protections. Your suggestion for bike lanes to be on secondary streets is asinine and speaks to how incompetent the current Minister of Transportation is that he does not have an understanding of basic mobility. People want to bike on Bloor and University Ave because that's where the destinations are that they are going to. All of these roads have subways underneath them and people should not expect to be driving on them like a highway. If you want to move quickly then park your car and get on the subway as hundreds of thousands of Torontonians do daily.
