Hi,
I do not support the removal of any bike lanes. Particularly in urban parts of Toronto like bloor street downtown, danforth, university and yonge. Cycling has grown as a way to get around the city massively and the city has invested a lot of time and money into making sure cyclists can be safe. I understand if lanes will be removed in etobicoke where fewer people use them if the residents don't want them. However, it's clear that people living downtown do want bike lanes and do use them.

The city is growing more dense and bicycles offer a much more space efficient form of transportation. The province needs to invest in this as people want it and it helps reduce car dependency and the number of people driving cars. Everyone can win from cycling infrastructure including car drivers.

Please support all of your constituents and take a nuanced approach to your approach. There is no need for suburban transportation methods to be forced on people downtown who prefer walking cycling and taking public transit.
