These bike lanes are essential in reducing drivers on the road and are critical safety infrastructure!

These lanes keep me and my family safe when biking through the city and commuting. How many people will be injured or killed as a result of removing them? How much additional noise and air pollution will be created in these vibrant and walkable neighbourhoods as a result of having 4 lanes of traffic instead of two? What will the province do when these lanes of traffic inevitably become gridlocked again? This will hurt local buisness along these roadways, decrease quality of life for those in the neighbourhood, make our streets less safe to walk along, and people will die as a result of these decisions.

Please let Toronto manage itself. There is no reason for the province to step in to remove lanes, when this is a matter for city governance, NOT provincial. Gridlock in the city will be solved when we have real alternative forms of transportation and commuting. Please just fund our public transit and let us do the rest!
