My second home and home to most of my family is Toronto. For as long as I can remember, Toronto has been a nightmare for car drivers BECAUSE there are NO CLEARLY MARKED bike lanes. My mother had a great deal of difficulty SEEING cyclists.

In Montreal, LIVES have been SAVED because of clearly demarcated bike lanes. I have almost been hit in Toronto because I was riding and the bike lane suddenly disappeared, courtesy of the Ford brother who was mayor.

In Montreal, I have not had that issue because of the clearly marked bike lanes. I drive a car as well. You have no idea how happy I am to have in this city clearly marked and safe bike lanes.

I will GLADLY drive slower to accommodate cyclists, but I don't have to! Because we have so many safe and winterized bike lanes, there are LESS people driving cars.

Please keep the existing bike lanes in Toronto and create an actual 21st century city, with safe bike lanes everywhere.
