We need a Mayor who will stand up to the Province, like Chow

Bike lanes keep thousands of people safe. Everyone should be safe as they travel to work, school and around our city. Since 2023, 78 cyclists have been killed or seriously injured in collisions on the road. I maintain that the City of Toronto and its elected council should be the ones making decisions about municipal infrastructure. Toronto City Council has voted to formally oppose the province’s plans to override the City’s authority and remove the lanes. Every person cycling takes another car off the road. We are also tackling the root causes of congestion by hiring 100 traffic agents, speeding up construction by increasing fees for closing lanes, and improving subways, streetcars and buses so more people take public transit. The City is reviewing the court decision and the impact on our ongoing discussions with the province.

She sure has been capitulating to Ford until now. She writes this after the court case.

Bike lanes in new-built circulation systems are great. But in established urban milieus, they are only for the young and the fit, and imho, thereby discriminatory.
