The legislation as if…

The legislation as if affects bike lanes in the City of Toronto is a complete overreach on the part of the Province. We have a democratically elected municipal government that should have the power to make decisions about bike lanes within its boundaries.

The elimination of existing bike lanes and the restrictions on new bike lane construction will have a direct impact on public safety. Myself and my family use the bike lanes regularly , and depend on them to get us to and from where we going safely and efficiently.

The proposal as if affects bike lanes will have a minimal and short-lived effect on vehicle travel times.
The crux of the matter is that there already are too many cars on the road for the infrastructure that we currently have.

The only effective solution to gridlock is to give people options. The biggest one is the expansion of public transit. We can't just pave over the Province. We need to encourage everyone to explore alternative ways of getting around.
