I am very disheartened by the tabling of this bill. I have lived in Toronto for 16 years and the evolution of bike lane infrastructure has been critical to my life here. I have biked to work for most of my life here, including my current job where I bike 12km from the west end to downtown. It’s extremely unfair to relegate bike traffic away from major thoroughfares, these routes are direct and right now they are way safer than other bike lanes in the city. It cuts my commute down to take major east-west, north-south routes that are maintained and well traveled. Doug Ford claims that the BRAND NEW bike lanes on University are a hindrance for first responders and Doctors which is in direct conflict with actual response times in city going down year. I would assume that first responders would rather contend with a bike lane then cyclists that have been hit by cars. I strong urge everyone involved to repeal this policy. It’s harmful to so many people.
