As a Toronto resident who drives, I am asking for the bike lanes to please remain in place.
They make the road much safer for everyone.
The chances of having a collision with a cyclist is almost nonexistent due to the barriers and demarcated lanes.
Without these safeguards in place the accidents, and worse, deaths, could be much higher like they were before the lanes were installed.
It is impossible to keep cyclists away from cars on any roads so the idea of side roads will not make it safer for them or for us.
