As a resident on Bloor St I am against this proposal for the following reasons:

1. This will not reduce congestion on roads, in fact it will increase congestion by forcing would be cyclists to drive instead of bike. Look into induced demand and look at LA traffic if you think more lanes reduces traffic.

2. More cyclists will be injured or killed if bike lanes are removed

3. It is a waste of tax-payer money to rip out brand new bike lanes that are highly used by cyclists

4. Bike lanes keep cyclists off the sidewalks and out of the way of vehicles. As a driver I prefer cyclists to be separate from me so I don't have to worry about passing them safely
