Removing bike lanes is a huge step backwards. As other large cities in countries around the world successfully work toward creating walkable and bike safe communities with good transit, the out of touch Government of Ontario is heading into the dark ages with its car centric mentality.
Our streets are full of rushed, angry, selfish car and truck drivers who lack any compassion for building safe communities. They don't stop at stop signs, speed through lights as they turn red and have little patience for pedestrians and cyclists crossing at intersections. These are the people that Doug Ford is giving into. And whether there are bike lanes or not, those impatient drivers are still going to drive like that and without bike lanes there will be more deaths and accidents on our streets.
As the mother of two daughters who live along the Bloor Street corridor and who use cycling and walking as their means of transportation, I am appalled by the stupidity of the Ontario Government.
