How come people who do not…

How come people who do not even live in the city (let's include Etobicoke) in there are try to push forward something that affects the livelihood of people who live in the city when they infrequently visit the city and refuse to take public transportation? How can removing a bike lane on Yonge (which cost a lot of taxpayer dollars) affect traffic at the 401/ 427 highways?

What does removing a bike lane accomplish? If somehow, a car lane is fit in, all that will happen is that cars will use that for parking and then cyclists will use the road and slow down traffic even more?

Can the City of Toronto step up and prevent outsiders (who are the minority in the GTA) from disrupting our way of life? I bike to work 3 times/ week. I don't ask Mississauga to change for me, so it does not make sense vice versa.

Also, why is Toronto different than other major cities? If you visit cities all over the world, there is a trend towards building better bike infrastructure (because it literally takes cars off the road). I don't want Toronto to go backwards, and we keep using tax dollars to build and remove bike lanes.

Leave us alone in the city, and just take your car and drive around on your highways.
