Dear Doug. Countless studies…

Dear Doug. Countless studies, thriving higher population cities, and examples from our city, show that bike lanes and public transit, are what improves traffic for everyone.

There was a recent INRIX study of our traffic and it shows the biggest bottlenecks are on our highways and where there is construction.

Let's improve inter-municipality public transit. Let's improve cross-Ontario and province high-speed trains. We've reached a population and density, similar to Europe where this is viable and more effective.

Increasing and improving bike lanes for inner city transit as well has been proven. We're not the only cold city with bike lanes, Montreal, Vancouver, London, and the Scandinavian countries all prove the weather isn't preventing more people from using them. It's safety!!!

Bike lanes and better public transit allow more people options for what kind of transit they need and thus allowing cars too, to face less congestion.

It's safer, faster, cheaper, will hugely benefit our economy, and overall the better option for everyone (including you and other drivers) and the planet.

Also the land expropriation clause that was snuck in is downright dictatorial. Tell everybody about what you're doing here and see if it's actually what the people want.
