Bike lanes have been…

Bike lanes have been developed and implemented in order to save lives. How many lives have to be lost before it becomes apparent to this government that bike lines are in necessary part of traffic infrastructure.

People who drive cars are also people who ride bikes and are also pedestrians. Everyone has a right to a safe environment, whether they’re walking on the sidewalk, riding their bike in a lane or travelling by car. Weight should be given to the lives of those who do not drive at any given moment, and municipalities should have the right to create and maintain bike lane according to the needs of their residents.

The arbitrary removal of bike lanes and laws that enforce such removal, go against our understanding of global warming, and our need to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Biking and walking are effective, economical and reasonable ways to get around town.

One shouldn’t have to drive a car for one’s life to matter to the Ontario government.
