A good friend of mine was hit by a car while cycling yesterday in downtown Toronto and spent the day in the hospital determining whether he has broken his leg. Keeping bike lanes on Toronto streets big and small is critical for ensuring that more people are able to safely use alternatives to cars.

The Bloor-Annex (where I live) BIA is also stating that the evidence they are seeing is that bike lanes are good for business, they improve safety for all road users, and reduce congestion.

The provincial government should not be messing around with bike lanes and should instead be assisting with expanding Toronto's public transit.
