Bikes are an important (and clean!) mode of transportation for many in Toronto.
Removing the lanes opens bikers (and car drivers) to more accidents. The lanes not only provide an easy/direct way for bikers to use the roads, it also ensures a safe one.
Additionally, removing bike lanes won't necessarily stop bikers from using shared roads. If your concern is with traffic, removing the lanes will force bikers to use the same road as car drivers. Drivers will have to slow down to either follow behind the bike or carefully drive around the biker (something that is not always possible with even minimum traffic). This will cause more traffic.
Please reconsider removing these lanes. They're critical for keeping bikers safe & to insure a good flow of traffic for all.
