We should be spending this…

We should be spending this money on something that makes sense, like healthcare or education or more public transit.
We need more bike lanes, not fewer. Spending $50 million on undoing one of the things that has been a great help to the people of Toronto is illogical. Bike lanes make people safer, and biking makes people healthier. Rising cost of living means people are looking for ways to cut costs, and cycling is a great way to save money. Those benefits are great for individuals, but they’re also great for the city.
I drive, cycle, walk and take TTC. TTC is sometimes the third most efficient way to travel, cycling is sometimes faster. We should be investing in public transit improvements.
People often choose to drive because it’s the quickest, but this is creating more gridlock and traffic and pollution. But if it takes me an hour to take TTC somewhere, and 20 minutes to drive, it makes sense to save the time. We need better transit—take $50 million and invest it there! I would choose TTC more often if it was better and less crowded.
The more people we can get on bikes and taking transit, the better.
