The removal of the bike…

The removal of the bike lanes outlined in this proposal will impact my safety. My bike is my means of transportation for work, shopping, entertainment. The Bloor, Avenue Road and Yonge Street bike lanes have been a godsend for city cyclists. They ensure less chance of being injured or killed by vehicles much larger and more powerful than ourselves. They also keep bikes OUT of the way of vehicles! Millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent on this infrastructure only very recently. For a Conservative government to be wasting our dollars to rip out lanes that have only just been installed is completely nonsensical. If the government of Ontario were wasting money in this way in any other context there would be an outcry. You are actively discriminating against the large number of Toronto residents who use bicycles as their means of transportation. If this action were used against any other group in our society it would be deemed prejudicial.
