I am a 64-year-old resident of Etobicoke who owns a car and sees that the only way forward for Ontario in the long term is to encourage people to use their cars less and instead travel using less toxic methods. Yes, bike lanes will cause some discomfort in the short term as people have to drive a few minutes longer. But we won't get out of our cars unless driving becomes the less convenient option. I think it is a very wrong headed move to remove bike lanes that municipalities have determined will help us reduce car use, even if it is politically expedient in the short term. I encourage the government of Ontario to take a long term view and support municipalities that are trying to reduce our use of fossil fuels.
