This Bill is a misguided,…

This Bill is a misguided, uninformed and completely unfounded attempt to make traffic better based on outdated or irrelevant data. Taking out bike lanes will make our roads unsafe for cyclists and people will absolutely die as a result. It will make our sidewalks unsafe for pedestrians as some cyclists and scooters will opt to use them instead to avoid the dangers of cars. Having one more lane of traffic on a handful of streets won’t solve the problem of gridlock traffic, but it will increase emissions as more people are forced to drive with fewer viable transportations, like biking, available to them. We need better mass transit and more accessible regional transit for those coming into Toronto for the day if we actually want to solve the traffic. As a lifelong Torontonian, I am furious at the lack of informed decision making demonstrated by “Ford Nation” - a country most of us did not ask to live in.
