Hello, As a canadian…

Hello,

As a canadian taxpayer and daily cyclist I am asking myself the following questions :

1) Why do I have to pay for roads and highways (open question)?
2) Is noise/air/environment pollution taken into account?
3) Is health taken into account?
4) Why is it better for traffic to have bikes riding on the same lane as cars?
5) What is the long term vision of what Toronto should look like?

Please let me know if you have answers, I am genuinely curious.

PS: I have no beef with cars I think they are amazing machines too.
