I’m writing in support of maintaining bicycle lanes in Ontario, especially in Toronto. I drive frequently in GTA and Toronto. It is safer and environmentally better for both driver and cyclist to continue bike lane use.

My 50 year driving experience has shown that since the institution of bike lanes, traffic has improved. Gridlock is not caused by bike lanes. It is caused by construction, drivers not following rules of the road and blockage of the “box”.

It is hard to maintain the one meter law from cyclists, where the lanes do not exist, thus slowing down traffic.

It would be a fiscal and environmental error to remove bike lanes, especially on major arteries.
