I'm against removing bike…

I'm against removing bike lanes as proposed. Sections of the infrastructure are incomplete and of course those areas will be underused until fully developed. Not everybody can afford a car or even pay for public transportation.

Bike riders pay taxes just like everybody else and are entitled to use the infrastructure just like car drivers. If you remove bike lanes, car driving will increase and traffic will be much, much worse. Take into account the growing population, this circular logic of car-first entitlement in the city does nothing to help and will add to the frustration of car drivers and cyclists alike. Toronto has a hostile view of cycling as it is, the safety of bike riders will now hang in the balance.

This is retribution feeding into a culture war, is petty at best and cynical at worst. Please reconsider the consequences of such wasteful actions.
