This proposal would be…

This proposal would be disastrous for Toronto's unique neighborhood main street culture, business and tourism. It is also a regressive step in terms of enabling local communities safe and active travel. Kids getting to school, adults traveling to work via bike lanes are at risk with this proposal.

I get that the Ford Government cares little for the environment or for the city of Toronto communities but imagine the precedent this sets for every town and city in Ontario. Let local business be determined by municipal level of government, not by the Premier of Ontario. The fact that Toronto's traffic is such a problem is because of poor & slow investment in public transport - the TTC Ontario Line / LRT Eglington; the Gardiner East bound . All of these could be improved and sped up. Instead the Premier wants to create a bike v car driver antagonism, making it an unsafe environment for everyone. Not every Toronto street should be a highway!

That is poor leadership and a big mistake.
