It is inappropriate for provincial government to add unnecessary beauracracy and red tape to municipal governments - solely because the premier wants fewer bike lanes on his morning commute.

As a driver of a car myself, I prefer bikes to have their own lanes so I do not need to slow down or go around them, creating chaos and danger for both drivers and cyclists wherever there are no dedicated bike lanes. What purpose does the government even serve if it is not to provide a basic level of safety for both cyclists and drivers?

Premier Doug Ford's rhetoric and misinformation on bike lanes is sad, as Toronto especially needs more lanes to complete its networks and achieve a critical mass for cyclists to use the infrastructure. Commuter %s are low because the government will not invest in infrastructure. It is the chicken and the egg.
