$75 million of our tax money to make traffic worse? Imagine what that money could do for healthcare, education, transit, or housing! Tell Ford to stay in his lane:

In summary, Ford's bike lane removals will, according to a new City Hall report: - Cost $75 million in direct costs and sunk costs. - Make traffic much, much worse for at least nine months during construction to remove lanes - Have minimal long-term impact on car travel times.

@Mikey10Mick @TheBikingLawyer @CycleToronto @FFSafeStreets @RespectTO @BicycleMayorTO @Yonge4All @biketo What non arterial roads? If you guys are going to keep saying this, show us a map of the alternative routes. At least tell us the street names. Why is it that nobody can do this? Instead of endangering lives, why wouldn't these mystery lanes open before current BL demolition?

@Mikey10Mick @TheBikingLawyer @CycleToronto @FFSafeStreets @RespectTO @BicycleMayorTO @Yonge4All @biketo Who are the "majority" you speak of? people who I've spoken see this foolish decision as one or more of: - a waste of money and resources - a distraction tactic - very obviously not going to meet the goal of improving traffic - increasing injury/death on the streets

We promised to get drivers out of gridlock by bringing sanity back to bike lane decisions and we’re getting it done.

Today! Join us at Fight for Bikes' second protest at Queen's Park at 2pm. Following short speeches, there will be protest rides fanning out along University, Bloor, and Yonge Street. Come show your support for the Midtown Yonge Complete Street and all of Toronto's bike lanes.

@wardFORpeople @fordnation I agree. Balance. 33% sidewalk. 33% bike lane. 33% for motor vehicles. Sounds fair. We’ll even let the motor vehicles have 34% to make it an even 100. #TOpoli #Toronto #biketo #onpoli #ontario

When cycling in Toronto, I will not be restricted to side streets. The main streets are generally the only ones that cross the ravines. I cannot be expected to meander through side streets when riding from Scarborough to downtown and delivering frozen food for the Bike Brigade.

Again, the entirety of the University bike lanes. @fordnation claims there are parallel streets (non-artery) mere feet from the current bike lanes. Where? Surely those can be pointed out on this map.

This talking point is ridiculous to the point of being laughable. Let's take an easy one to start. Here's a map of the entirety of the Yonge bike lane. Find a street that runs parallel, that isn't a main artery.

@BikeLaneDiary The truth is these bike lanes are causing congestion which makes the lives of the majority unbearable. Tell your friend to use the roads that run parallel to the main arteries.

Supposedly, only 1.2% of Toronto residents ride their bike to work. And because of that, the provincial government is pushing through legislation that would remove the existing lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge. But does that statistic seem a little suspicious to you? 1/

@JessicaBellTO I hate everything about this. I live far away from Toronto and it is appalling that my provincial government is wasting time and money on something that is clearly a municipal responsibility.

The cement and paint has barely dried on the new University Avenue dedicated bike lane. Why on earth would you tear all this up?

Dear Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation), My 10-year-old son was identified with a need last year and had to change public schools. I now bike him 2.2km to school in the mornings and he bikes home alone. We use the 8-year-old Bloor Street bike lanes which make the roads

An admission of the significant financial and safety costs. The city regularly looks at alternative routes and puts lanes on side streets. Shaw (instead of Ossington), Palmerston (Bathurst), Brunswick (Spadina). Yonge, University and Bloor don't have equivalent options.

Among everything else that’s despicable about this, ITS A CLEAR ADMISSION THAT THEY KNOW THAT DOING THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY ENDANGER LIVES. People rode bikes on these streets before the bike-lanes (albeit fewer) & they will again after. The inevitable blood will be on Ford’s hands.
