This Bill does serve the majority of the public! It is to serve the 1% of the entitled who seem to have the loudest voices. The bike lanes serve a purpose of providing safe alternative mode of transportation and it SLOWS down traffic so it is safe for cyclists AND pedestrians. If the government hates the bike lanes so much, would they commit to reducing car travel lanes to give more space to create wider sidewalks and more trees for PEDESTRIAN safety?? If not, then it is clear that it is just an anti-bike campaign.

I started to cycle to/from work since the Bloor Street bike lane was constructed. As a reference, I had not used cycling as a way to commute when I started my job at Bloor-Yonge in 2018. But since the construction of the Bloor bike lane that extended from High Park to Kipling, I have commuted by bike 1-3 times a week. It varies based on my work situation.

It also became a more reliable way of getting to work when there’s disruption of service on Line 2 subway. If anything, the government should subsidize the bike share program so that it aligns with service disruption on TTC so that people can hop on a bike rather than have to suffer through shuttle buses or resorting to Uber.
