This is a nothing more than…

This is a nothing more than a revenge plot against the city of Toronto that benefits no one other than Ford's sycophant buddies.

I say this as someone who drives regularly and often needs to drive on busy streets for my work. There is one way to cut down on gridlock and that is investing in robust public transit and public space. Bike lanes are a crucial component in this. You dont need to be an expert to know this - its basic city planning.

Aside from this, they also keep cyclists safe in a city whose infrastructure is widely hostile to them. The existing bike lanes are the absolute bare minimum and vastly lag behind other major cities in Canada and the world. Cyclists deserve a city that they can commute flexibly in without worrying for their lives.

Of course, cyclists are most often the lowest-income people in the city so I don't expect Ford or any of his Conservative buddies to care about their lives, as they have continually proven over and over again.
