I am a resident of Toronto and an independent voter. I commute to work daily using bike lanes in this city, including Bloor and University. I urge you to STOP your attack on the city’s bike lanes. Your mandate is to move people safely and efficiently. Bike lanes ALLOW FOR THE SAFE AND EFFICIENT MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE. How can you in good conscience promote an obviously flawed policy? Your government has cited NO studies to suggest bike lanes cause traffic. They do the EXACT OPPOSITE. Less people in cars means less traffic! That is common sense.

Bike lanes improve business activity. The BIA of the Bloor Annex area literally released a statement with supporting statistics.

Bike lanes promote safety for cyclists, who will
still use these important arterial roads.

Please STOP your aggressive anti-city policies. You are causing a political storm for no legitimate reason. This is a stain on your reputation.
