I am a daily commuter…

I am a daily commuter relying on the newly created Avenue Road, and recently updated University and Adelaide bike lanes. I sat through the construction of the bike lanes in the summer on Avenue and dealt with the construction on Adelaide. I sometimes felt unsafe but I knew that the bike lanes were coming. I cannot imagine the amount of waste this project is going to product and additional gridlock to our streets. In May of this year on my bike ride home from work I biked by the crime scene of a fellow fallen rider on Avenue. It took his unfortunate death for that section of the road to get a bike lane and if we tear it out, more deaths will happen across our city. We need transit. If the Ford Government wants to be “fact based” they need to look at what’s actually causing traffic (more cars). I am livid about the bike lanes being torn up.
