We need more bike lanes!!!! As a young student with a disability in Toronto, transit has become a place of anxiety for me. The TTC is often WAY too packed making it feel like a can of sardines, running late and not safe. Taking Ubers or Lyfts are much too expensive but i am forced to take them out of no choice (subway closures etc) or it is too unsafe.
Because of this I have recently taken up cycling. It is reliable and inexpensive. However, the lack of bike lanes already in the city stops me from going many places. I am only comfortable travelling on streets with proper lanes for riders and that is not many. We are forced to put our lives and even the lives of drivers at risk to get around the city.
Bikes are the BEST WAY TO REDUCE GRIDLOCK. We do not need much room for parking, and when we do, that parking is a whole lot cheaper than cars. Our vehicles (bikes) do not damage the roads like cars do -saving you money.
Bikes are the solution for the congestion that is Toronto. Moreover, bikes are the solution for the population that are vulnerable to the dents of our city. People using public and self transportation feel the effect of your decisions the most. Put this one in our favour
