I am a resident of uptown Yonge neighborhood and I regularly rely on the bike lanes on Yonge that are proposed to be removed. The bike lanes are essential for safe passage of cyclists on the busy street, without them cyclists will be in danger. The proposal is a regression because the community is used to bike lanes and taking them away will not lessen the demand for cycling nor the number of cyclists including children and seniors that will travel on Yonge. This is because there are no convenient alternatives to the bike lanes that are being removed.
