I strongly oppose the proposed bill to remove bike lanes that I use daily for commuting. These lanes provide a safe, efficient, and healthy alternative for travel, reducing the need for cars and alleviating congestion. Removing them would undermine the progress made towards a more bike-friendly city and negatively impact many who rely on them for their daily commute. Many people, like myself, only became comfortable with biking as an alternative to Ubers because of the infrastructure that was created to ensure our safety. Taking out these lanes will add more cars on the road, contradicting your objective of alleviating congestion. The statistics quoted on the number of users are extremely out of date and are not a reflection of the popularity of bike lanes today. The benefits of keeping these bike lanes far outweigh any marginal gains from their removal and I implore the Ford government to use our tax payer dollars in a more productive manner.
