I get that municipalities…

I get that municipalities are creatures of the province but this is a step too far and clear overreaching by the province into removing cycling infrastructure from a local municipality such as the City of Toronto.

Instead of removing cycling infrastructure the province should get involved in the planning process and work with local municipalities to use cycling infrastructure to improve connectivity to and from Metrolinx routes or GO Transit stations.

For example in many European countries and even the neighbouring province of Quebec have built to great success are long distance cycling routes throughout the country or province.

Provincial staff can and should use this as an opportunity to move forward with planning and building of cycling routes that not only connect to and from Metrolinx routes or GO Transit stations but also connecting the many pieces of cycling infrastructure that have already been built in many municipalities throughout Ontario.

Please do not remove cycling infrastructure from the City of Toronto or any Ontario municipality.

Thank you,
