The existence of bike lanes…

The existence of bike lanes and trains has a huge impact on the accessibility of Toronto and Ontario more broadly. With more Go transit options, including holidays and weekends, a car wouldn't be necessary for me to get in and out of the city.

Bike lanes keep me safe, as I commute by bike every day, and is often full of other bikes, all of who would struggle to merge with traffic if bike lanes were removed. If people on those bikes drove, it would only increase congestion, and make biking even more unsafe than it already is in a now congested and construction ridden downtown.

I urge everyone looking at this bill to understand no one wants more traffic in toronto, and bikers mean less people in cars, and less traffic. Plus what takes up more space, a new car lane or an existing bike lane? Please don't spend money destroying infrastructure people in this city use every day.
