I use the bikes lanes on College, University and Bloor almost every day year round for commuting, shopping and safely moving around the city. Removing any portion of any of them - let alone the entirety of all the lanes - would dramatically increase my risk of injury and death on the road, as there simply aren't suitable or timely side street routes available to replace the journies I rely upon these lanes for. While commuting along these lanes I also make use of a wide range of businesses, restaurants and city services that are significant easier to access by simply hopping off my bike and patronizing than I would if I had to instead rely upon transit to make these same journies. These bike lanes are essential, irreplaceable and hugely necessary.
