My mother is in her 70s and her main form of transportation is by bicycle; she does not own a car. I’m concerned for her safety if bike lanes are removed as the more recent segregated paths offer so, so much more safety than simple paint on the road.

For myself, one of my favourite parts of Toronto is the variety of transit options available to me. Being able to choose between walking, cycling, transit or driving means I rarely choose to drive. If bike lanes are being removed and cycling is a less attractive option, I’ll have to rely on driving more - becoming the traffic I’m trying to avoid. Please don’t force me to be part of the problem.
