We must keep existing bike lanes and continue to build more dedicated bike lanes along major transit corridors in Toronto.

Dedicated lanes keeps cyclists same from being hit by other vehicles and keeps them off the sidewalk so they don't run in to pedestrians.

Many people down town Toronto also don't own cars, relying on transit or bikes (self owned or public) to make trips around town. This encourages community building and enables people to shop locally! Many small businesses benefit from local foot traffic over shoppers who have to drive to a destination.

Bike lanes allow more people to feel safe when biking around town, which will reduce the likelihood of them driving in a car. This reduces the number of cars on the road and is what will really reduce traffic and gridlock in the city.

Also cannot scrap the environmental assessments to speed up the building of highways. Our greenbelt is sensitive to changes and won't recover once disturbed by construction and infrastructure.

Preserving the environment becomes more important as climate change impacts annual snow and rain fall. We need to maintain our green spaces to prevent floods and maintain habitats for the native species.
