The bike lanes of Bloor,…

The bike lanes of Bloor, Yonge, and University are essential for the growing cycling network of Toronto and people who use them daily to commute around the city. As a healthcare worker myself. I use the University bike lanes even when on call at all hours of the night. Its the most reliable and quickest way between my home and work. Especially during those emergency calls when I have to be at work within a certain time window to join my call team and help save someones life. Even when I ride home after a very tiring shift at any hour of the night. I know that i'm far safer riding on a separated bike lane than mixing with motor vehicles. I've been cycle commuting for over a decade now and these lanes are a godsend!

I can see that the city has invested alot of tax dollars in trying to improve congestion by giving people alternative modes of transportation. I find that this bill is a waste of that investment if we are to reverse course, and from studies around the world; probably will not even help with alleviating the traffic congestion caused by car traffic in the first place. Please reconsider this move. Thanks
