I disagree 100% with the Provincial Government having the authority to approve and remove bike lanes.
Bike ridership in Toronto has increased substantially because of the bike lanes.
Thousands of people ride their own bikes and in addition there is the Bike Share program. You just need to look at the user statistics for proof:
Ridership has grown substantially each year since 2015, when 665,000 trips were recorded. So far this year, riders in Toronto have taken 4.7 million Bike Share trips, already overtaking total ridership in 2022 and fast approaching the 5.7 million mark set in 2023, according to Bike Share Toronto director Justin Hanna.Sep 12, 2024
We must have a fully connected bicycle network in Toronto. If any lanes are removed we must ensure alternative routes are implemented first.
Downtown Toronto is so densely populated and so many people in the downtown area navigate around on bikes.
I regularly use the Bloor, Yonge and University bike lanes.
We cannot go backwards.
