Forget the misleading bike use numbers, the low rate of people using their car is fascinating!
Ford makes it seem like 99% of the Toronto population are driving everywhere with their cars.
While traffic congestion makes it seem like everyone is driving, the reality is that fewer than 40% are in the areas that Ford wants bike lanes removed.
So why on earth do we allocate so many resources to car traffic?????
100% of the people living in the city suffer because of cars, parking lot space, noise pollution, air pollution, lack of safety for pedestrians, congestion causing all other forms of transportation to be slower.
Wouldn't it make more sense to give car traffic less priority, and other forms of transportation more? Between cycling and non-car users, car drivers are the minority, yet they demand every square inch to themselves!
Why do we continue to allow this entitlement?
