I have two major concerns. The premier appears to be basing his views and making decisions on personal observations of his travel and not based on facts or an open debate and on the pros and cons of active transportation in a large city. He seems too have once again adopted the bully tactics we see so often to the south of us. A kind of "I know what's best for everyone" solution.

My second concern is has to do with the need for better education for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians on sharing urban transportation infrastructure.

Personally, as a cyclist using roads, bike paths, multi use pathways and bike lanes (some with curbs or flex poles to give a sense of false security and safety) I prefer to ride in a lane used by both cyclists and drivers who are know the rules of the road, how to share the road and allow sufficient time to reach their destination at safe speeds.

I believe the final decision should reside with the municipality and proper funding provided from all levels of government.
