Have you ever been stuck…

Have you ever been stuck behind a cyclist on a road with no bike lanes, having to slow way down until it's safe to veer around them into the oncoming lane to pass? If you have, then you'll know that bike lanes are the safest and most convenient way to divide streets.

Committing even more money into taking out infrastructure that has already been built and paid for, especially on the Bloor, University, and Yonge corridors, is the most irresponsible use of tax dollars I have ever seen. I enjoy being able to choose the most convenient method of travel, whether that's driving, walking, biking, or taking the TTC, depending on the trip, and I don't want any of those choices to put me at risk of serious injury or death. Using the bike lanes that we already have in place helps me feel safer as a driver and safer as a cyclist.

Please know that making life harder for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike will not win my vote next time there is a ballot in front of me. I am appalled that my tax dollars are being wasted in such a way.
