I fully support the removal…

I fully support the removal of bike lanes throughout the city. I grew up in Toronto and remember my parents who immigrated here driving down Bloor street to get groceries from the store further away from us because it was cheaper. 20 years later, driving down Bloor street is nearly impossible because the parking and bike lanes reduce a major street down to one lane. My parents don't live in the city anymore and rely on a car to get into the city. They cannot feasibly walk or bike here. However, traffic has gotten so bad in Toronto that driving here is a big ordeal as well.

I personally love biking recreationally, and would want to keep bikers safe. However, given the weather here, it's only reasonable to bike for less than half the year and I can't bike in most cases (I can't carry my groceries with a bike, I can't bike to my office as I can't shower there). It's not a practical mode of transportation in 90% of cases.

I do take the TTC very often and I feel that the terrible traffic in the city negatively affects the effectiveness of the TTC as well. Busses are often stuck behind the cars. Around rush hour it's nearly impossible to travel, even by bus.
