I strongly oppose this proposal. Removing bike lanes in our city is a costly step backwards. Not only will it significantly waste tax payer dollars, it will cost human safety, mobility, and livability in this city. Active transportation improves health outcomes, lowers pollution, and reduces traffic. No one, including people who need to drive, want more cars on the road. We need to incentivize other forms of mobility. Bike lanes make city cycling and scootering safer and easier. The world’s best and most livable cities are the ones with the best mobility. If we want to continue to attract tourism and business to our city and province we should invest in the city our future demands, not burn hard earned tax payer dollars to return us to the past.
