This bill represents another…

This bill represents another instance of confusing a city street and a road, as exemplified by the inclusion of proposing the removal of several Toronto bike lanes on STREETS. Streets should be places form people - to gather, shop, walk, and create value for the local community. A great example of this is Bloor Street.

A ROAD is something that is for moving cars between two places. Bloor Street is not a road. Cars do not buy things, or congregate, or add value, yet removing bike lanes will turn a nice place into a car centric highway that is just to move people from A to B, meaning less shopping, less gathering, and less adding value to the community.

Listen to the Bloor Annex BIA (not to mention all the other planning, Mayoral, and business organizations) that have spoken against this proposed legislation, including the decades of data to show this legislation will only make congestion and safety worse.
