If you would like to speed…

If you would like to speed up vehicle travel in this province, please do so on the highways and expressways which were designed for vehicles to travel at speed.

Build subways, LRTs, add more streetcars, by all means. Add congestion charges for drivers. Make parking more expensive. There are far better ways to reduce congestion.

But in the heart of this city, where my kids walk to school, where my kids bike to school, where I pull them in a wagon in summer, on a sled in winter, PLEASE SLOW DOWN.

We LIVE here. This is not a place for thoroughfare. This city is for living.

Please do not spend $48 million, please do not spend $1, please do not put us through more construction delays, to remove bike lanes that keep my children safe on this city.

Bike lanes save lives.

Drivers can wait.

Thank you.

From a resident, homeowner, driver, and taxpayer, of the city of Toronto and the province of Ontario.
