This is an absolutely terrible policy that should not be considered. As someone who is unable to drive, due to a disability, I rely on biking to get to work and move around Toronto. The separated bike lanes such as those on College, University, and Bloor are some of the best infrastructure that exists in this city and should be the standard used to rapidly expand the biking network. Having more commuters bike results in fewer drivers, this means not only helping meet Ontario's carbon emission goals but also fewer cards congesting roads. If a bike lane does not exist on a road, then when I cycle I am forced to bike in the same lanes as cars. This forces cars to drive slowly behind me and increases tension, frustration, and opportunities for injuries. Separating bikes from cars is better for everyone! We have seen more cyclists killed due to being hit by cars. Bike lanes, reduce pollution, help mitigate climate change, provide freedom of movement for everyone, and stop cyclists from being killed.
