I get it. Toronto’s traffic…

I get it. Toronto’s traffic is terrible. I drive. Research shows the traffic is not caused by bike lanes. Bike lanes in fact help mitigate congestion. While I could drive my daughter to daycare, I instead bike, clearing up congestion. Remove bike lanes and you will have tens of thousands more cars on the roads.

Bike lanes also make us safer. We don’t worry about getting doored or hit by cars. As a driver, I prefer separated bike lanes because I feel more comfortable sharing the road this way.

Removing completed bike lanes is financially irresponsible.

And finally, this is a municipal issue. The city is conducting research and consultations on bike lanes. Please focus on broader Ontario wide issues that you have jurisdiction over.

Thank you.
