With the new bike lanes on Bloor and , I cycle to work every day. I feel much safer on roads with proper bike lanes. I’ve also noticed that University and Yonge street feel much safer with the new bike lanes. I own a car, and could drive much more than I do, but with the new lanes, riding my bike has become the preferred option: I save money and get exercise, all while knowing that I’m contributing a little less to the greenhouse gas emissions that are a serious risk to my future and future of my children.
I’ve biked in Toronto for 20 years and noticed a massive increase in the number of cyclists. This gives me hope that in time, the air quality and traffic congestion in Toronto will improve.
Investing in bike infrastructure and public transit is essential to ensure that we have a livable city in the long term, and reduce the risk of the many health consequences associated with cars.
I urge the province not to waste tax payer money removing bike lanes that improve public safety, health and the environment.
