I want to submit my concerns…

I want to submit my concerns regarding this proposed Act. I am a cyclist who rides to work daily and my wife drives to her place of work each day. We both prefer to keep cycling infrastructure in place for the reason that it keeps me safe and it makes her feel safer on the road as a driver having cyclists protected with dedicated infrastructure.

Additional concerns:

- Tearing up our city’s bike lanes will be expensive, disruptive to traffic, and wastes already invested public funds
- Bike lanes promote active transportation, public health, and are better for the environment
- multiple mayoral candidates have campaigned on removing bike lanes and were overwhelmingly rejected by the democratic will of Toronto (Saunders, Ford, et al)
- Bike lanes and city infrastructure should be the domain of City Council, Queens Park has its work cut out for it with the dire state of healthcare, education, and housing affordability

These are our bike lanes, they were paid for with our money, keep your hands off of them!
