Hello, please do not remove the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. in the City of Toronto and to return them to a lane of traffic. My family lives by Harbour Street and on most days are unable to commute without a two hours commute due to traffic built up on Lakeshore and the surrounding regions. We should not be encouraging single occupant vehicles, my partner just reported her co-worker got her foot ran over today. Two night ago I experienced two people simply parked right at the intersection in the lane making a two lane into a single lane with many blind spots. There are often food delivery drivers who simply park in the bike lane and how would cyclists and pedestrians share a sidewalk. It is not safe for cyclists who must be driving an arms length away from a vehicle 25 times their weight. We must encourage emission free transportation. Earlier this year I travelled to London where there have been Ultra Low Emission Zones in effect for the past five years. As Toronto continues to become a world class city we must not retract services which our locals rely on for people to sit in traffic. Limit the amount of automobiles by not allowing single occupant drivers people should carpool or seek alternative transportation means. Our city has become stagnant and must not take the single activity which allows people to lower the cost of living and cost to the environment. Thank you and please make the right decision. When walking down bloor st I noticed the car parked on street parking was about to open their door into someone on the bike lane how could they possibly have a safe mean of transportation without a lane.
