He says he would move lanes to quieter streets parallel to major roads.
Yeah, that will be GREAT for getting over the Don Valley. Bikers can just follow the quieter road that runs parallel to the Bloor viaduct.
Oh wait, there isn't one.
Rossi also wants to put the planned Transit City lines on hold until later."His promise to kill bike lanes on Jarvis will win him support in neighbourhoods such as Rosedale, Moore Park and Leaside," says the Star.
Well that's true. People who live in those neighbourhoods get up every morning and drive their large, gas guzzling vehicles to their downtown offices. Why should they worry about those who can not or choose not to own a vehicle? Why do they have to worry their pretty little heads about the majority of the population who have to take public transit or power their own way to work?
The article says that Rossi's ideas about removing bike lanes shows a lack of understanding of Torontonian values and what is going on at city hall.
It's hard to believe this egg-head is from the Liberal Party.
Let's hope Toronto is smart enough not to elect Rocco Rossi.
