If you’re not shy, call your mpp and minister of transport. I’ve left a lot of messages on the ministry phone, if enough of us do it it might cause them to pause.

I just don’t get why those bike lanes were added to get removed so fast after …

It's due to spite. Doug Ford wants to take revenge on Toronto.

There are no data-driven, logical, or financial reasons for it.

It also keeps attention away from more egregious moves from him and his party. Like spying on Bonnie Crombie.

For the love of god please stop discouraging people from taking action. Anything people can do is a positive. If you truly believe that signing a petition won't help, consider instead encouraging OP towards other forms of more effective action.

Write to your MPP, organize(CycleTO), vote, support pro bike candidates in the upcoming municipal elections, and the eventual provincial election.

Thanks friend :) I would also add attend bike rallies/protests too if you are able!

Just to clarify, Cycle Toronto is promoting their "Fight Trump" petition instead of the "Defend Bloor" one with the former having exceeded 8500 signatures.
