Not only does this waste the tax payer dollars spent to put recent bike lanes in place, but as a cyclist, I've noticed an improvement in the safety of my ride along University and Bloor. It has been proven that more lanes don't reduce traffic.

Even with bike lanes, motorists don't respect cyclists, but maintaining the bike lanes adds a layer of protection and visibility. Removal of the bike lanes leaves cyclists completely vulnerable.

Please invest the money that would have been spent on bike lane removal on more reliable transit and TCC infrastructure.

We are in North America's 4th largest city. We are not entitled to having no traffic. If people are going to drive downtown, they should expect traffic. Cycling, walking and transit are more accessible, sustainable, and reliable. We should be investing in the future, not the past.
