I am a car owner and driver. I do not support the removal of bike lanes, and fully support the addition of bike lanes that remove a traffic lane. We are a city that embarrassingly falls short when it comes to cycling infrastructure. I don’t want more bikes in lanes of traffic, they should have their own dedicated lanes. Removing bike lanes won’t make bikes go away - it’ll just push them into lanes of traffic or sidewalks.
Dedicated biking lanes aren’t a problem for the city’s gridlock, they’re a solution. If I could safely bike to work and through my neighbourhood it would mean one less car on the road.
