I am a frequent driver and occasional cyclist. I also travel a lot for a living. In my travels I’m always struck by how most city’s have overcome congestion and limits of the cities by DECREASING vehicle traffic and ENCOURAGING cycling, transit and other forms of transportation. To move a city into the future is to make it more prosperous by making it less about vehicles and more about the people in it. So many international cities have done so to great effect. Seems so dated and misinformed for us to remove recent improvements to the city such as these bike lanes.

Removing bike lanes will not improve traffic, it’s a quick fix for a much larger problem. And making it more dangerous

My partner was hit my a car in this city and suffered serious injuries. Sadly a story all too familiar in our city. Bike lanes and bike infrastructure encourages more people to cycle, makes our city safer and less congested by encouraging people to use other forms of transportation.

I want Toronto and the Province of Ontario to move forward into the future with the rest of the world, not stick to an old idea that everyone just has to drive cars everywhere and plug up this city.

Also - why not let the voters in Toronto decide this, not the province. I’d like my tax dollars to be spent not wasted. Seems like a waste to use them to remove recently infrastructure rather than continue on a path forward.
