I believe bike lanes are…

I believe bike lanes are critical to the infrastructure of the city for a few reasons. First, the safety of cyclist should be considered, as people are going to cycle to work with or without the bike lane, and therefore the lanes are important to enhance the protection of cyclists. Secondly, although our weather makes cycling year round challenging, there are many people that cycle to work. This should be encouraged as we seek to reduce our reliance on automobiles. Also, more safe bike lanes available in the city encourages people to cycle, get exercise and improve overall fitness.
I strongly encourage the city and citizens to reject the province’s proposal to limit bike lanes.
Thank you.
