I believe that this bill has two distinct agendas to it that should both be looked at individually. I think that the removal of bike lanes in cities will only add more traffic as we will be reducing other more efficient modes of transportation. Bike lanes allow for a safe alternative for short inner city trips. Bike lanes allow for a safe alternative for those who do not own or cannot afford a car. Bike lanes reduce air and noise pollution. Bike lanes are more efficient at keeping up with the demands of moving large amounts of people.
I think this is a major regression for the lives of those who live in the city and is embarrassing. This shows that we are not building for the people who live in Toronto but the cars who live in Toronto. While cities such as Paris move towards a more efficient and safer environment for people this bill leads me to believe that we are living in the past.
