I strongly oppose removing existing bike lanes or preventing cities from choosing to install new bike lanes. Bike lanes are better for drivers, cyclists and local businesses. Many cyclists would drive without safe bike lanes, which would actually increase traffic and car congestion. Bike lanes are safer for cyclists, especially children. Protected bike lanes save Iives. In addition, it's been shown that local business benefit from bike lanes, which is why the Annex BIA supports the Bloor bike lanes. Without these bike lanes, cyclists will die unnecessarily and the responsibility for those deaths will fall on the politicians that chose to remove them or prevent the installation of new ones. Any attempt to remove bike lanes will be met with strong civil disobedience and will tarnish the reputation of a Ontario as a good place to do business.
