i can't believe i have to…

i can't believe i have to say this but BIKE LANES ARE GOOD FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING DRIVERS

They make it safer and easy for not only people on bikes to get around, but also people who walk or people on scooters or who have mobility devices and literally everyone outside of a car.

But that doesn't mean they are harmful for drivers, in fact the opposite. More people biking or walking or taking transit = less cars on the road = less traffic = makes driving BETTER for people who have to drive or want to drive.

By giving people options of how to get around, everyone will pick whatever option is best for them and everything is better for EVERYONE.

Removing bike lanes and forcing streets to be wider than they need to for the sake of what drivers want will just cause more people to not bother with anything other than driving, causing more traffic.

This is how we got in this mess after the past 50+ years.

Doug Ford and his government is actively ignoring the data and what people want and cherry picking data they want or flat out making stuff up in order to destroy Toronto's bike lanes and in turn ruin other cities from having a chance of improving their own transportation networks.

This bill is a giant step in the wrong direction and will ruin transportation in, not just Toronto but the province just because the conservative government and the vocal minority of drivers hate cyclists.

We're better than this. This should not pass. It defies logic and is a factually evil bill.
