As a resident of Toronto…

As a resident of Toronto without a car, and without a bicycle, bike lanes on Bloor St allow me to use the bike share instead of an uber to run a quick errand. I'm not someone who enjoys the prospect of cycling along with traffic, and the businesses I want to visit are on Bloor, not on a random side street. I work at Princess Margaret Hospital five days a week as a scientist and the new university bike lanes make the streetscape a more enjoyable atmosphere. They also provide a safe route for fellow coworkers to get to work on bike, rather than clog up the streets in a car. I urge you to reconsider the removal of bike lanes and stop BIll 212 in its tracks as the egregious overreach that it is which will only serve to make congestion worse and put many lives at risk
