Cars kill people and destroy cities. It’s that simple. Most of us know some or even many victims of traffic violence personally and we are not going to tolerate the killing any longer.
Most people, drivers and cyclists included, don’t follow the rules of the road very well but when drivers do it, people die. So why are you so fussed about cyclists and not drivers?
These bike lanes are wanted and used by the local people and businesses, but the Premier of Ontario wants to rip them out at taxpayer expense because of his personal biases and the whims of rural voters who don’t use this road much anyway.
