Thank God the Provincial…

Thank God the Provincial government is stepping up to intervene in the mess that is Toronto traffic.

This initiative started by Tory and advanced by Chow is an unmitigated disaster. The city is in Gridlock and only getting worse. While the concept of bike lanes has SOME merit, the planning an execution to date of bike lanes has been flat out wrong.

The city needs to understand that we are not a bike commuting society. We have kids that play sports. We have cottages outside of the city. We have large families that require groceries that don't fit in a knapsack. We commute to work because housing isn't available or affordable where work resides. These are hard facts.

The in its infinite stupidity has decided that moving 200 single bikes a day is more important than moving 10000 cars a day. The concern becomes even greater when the winter comes and bikes lanes are nearly abandoned.

The gridlock in this city and loss of economic output as a result of time lost in traffic for employees, time lost in raw and finshed goods transported can't be calculated. However, it's massive.

I believe that the next city and provincial elections will be won and lost based on the stances of the parties running. I will no longer be supporting my local city counselor as a result of his views on bike lanes. This includes financial support and my actual vote.
