Hello

Dear Government of Ontario,

As a daily cyclist commuting along University Avenue from the Queen St. W. and Spadina Ave. area, I want to express how essential this bike lane is. University Ave serves as a critical route for students and workers traveling from the west side of Toronto to the Yonge-Dundas area. Removing these bike lanes could have serious consequences, potentially pushing cyclists to drive instead, leading to increased traffic congestion, more gridlock, and higher environmental impact.

Bike lanes are not merely an alternative but a practical solution that reduces road congestion and environmental harm. Every morning, I see dozens of cyclists on University Ave, all contributing to a more efficient and cleaner city. Removing bike lanes could risk increasing traffic without guaranteeing a resolution. If it doesn’t work out, reinstating them would come at a further cost, ultimately paid by taxpayers.

I urge you to maintain the University Ave bike lanes for a sustainable and effective transportation option for Torontonians.

Sincerely,
Chi
