May 29: ‘Meng Wanzhou will be spending considerably more time in Canada.’ Readers react to Meng court decision, plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
: If there is to be a carmaggedon in downtown Toronto, it will probably come from those who use GO Transit and the TTC from the suburbs. If they don’t want to be near fellow commuters, they may drive into the city. Cycling for them is simply not realistic.
What would make a difference to this group would be to have downtown employers use more work-at-home programs and stagger office hours to alleviate transit crowding. More downtown bike lanes would be just one piece of a more complex transportation puzzle.Whenever the subject of expanding bike lanes comes up, there seems to be little or no consideration of the price, and I don’t mean in terms of finances.
Progressive government policy is supposed to expand fairness by making essential freedoms accessible to all. I believe a bike-lanes-at-all-costs policy does the opposite, favouring the strong over the less able.
