Due to my wife being…

Due to my wife being diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year, we were driving from North York (Yonge & Sheppard area) to Princess Margaret Hospital frequently for visits and then daily after her stem cell transplant. During 6 months of this back and forth, in our car I may add, we never witnessed a single instance of bikes or bike lanes being the cause of traffic.

What we did see was a great number of staff at Toronto General and PMH getting to their jobs on their bicycles.

Ripping up existing bike lanes along Yonge, Bloor & University is not going to do ANYTHING to alleviate congestion in the downtown core, as long as you keep handing out construction permits to condo developments that bring dump trucks into already congested areas.

In addition, ripping up existing bike lanes is just going to move commuting cyclists, food delivery workers and everyone else into regular traffic lanes, so this proposal is the most nonsensical piece of legislation put forward by the premier.
