Hi,

I am a resident of Toronto and a healthcare worker at the UHN. The biking infrastructure that has been established on Yonge, Bloor, and University have been essential to making me feel comfortable to using my bike and the bike share service to run errands, go to work, and patronize stores on those streets. Because they are such an efficiency way to get around on bicycle, I am inclined to not use my car, as biking is often faster and now safe. Without these bike lanes, I would simply return to using my car, clogging up the street of Toronto. This causes more congestion and pollution in our city.

Please reconsider this move to remove such amazing biking infrastructure. We shouldn't be aiming to increase the capacity for cars on our road, especially with subway lines beneath these major roads and biking infrastructure that is now usable 12 months of the year.

Thank you,

Simon
