I SUPPORT ONTARIO BICYCLE LANES
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THEM AND ENSURE THEY REMAIN PROTECTED
They get me and several others in my professional and social circles, to and from their destinations safely and as a business owner, the lanes provide a convenient option when our cities are gridlocked (which is nearly constantly). In instances like Toronto, TTC is not a valid option as several times per day, it is broken and or not working. Busy professionals CANNOT rely on this.
I would not be able to run my business effectively without bicycle lanes and neither would some of my employees be able to work. These bicycle lanes help to drive Ontario's economy.
We're in a crisis here in the GTA and wider Ontario where we lack multiple modes of transport. Prioritizing car lanes will not solve the issue short term and it certainly will NOT do so over the long term. The issue is that the only dependable way to get around is by car. Bicycle lanes offer some sort of alternative to that and it would be a very backwards and illogical move to revert.
We need dependable options outside of the regular GO, VIA & TTC. That infrastructure is already at its capacity!
Please do the logical thing, Mr. Doug Ford. Please protect Ontario bicycle lanes and ensure they are not removed and the new ones are strategically placed to ensure the safety and mobility of cyclists.
Your next election and political credibility will depend on it.
