To remove the bike lanes is…

To remove the bike lanes is a huge waste of taxpayer money. I am a tax paying Canadian citizen. I take the subway everyday for work and school, and also own a car and drive when needed. Despite this, I fully support the ongoing and continuing development and expansion of bike lanes. When I am driving, I want the cyclists to be protected from drivers. It's better for me as a driver. I care about the general safety and well-being of my fellow Torontonians. The congestion we experience in this city is because we don't have enough alternatives to driving. To remove bike lines would just make it worse, especially in the long run. (Referencing bike lane volume from the census during the pandemic is incredibly short-sighted and unrealistic.) I want to live in a city where the planning and building of public works has the future in mind, not lazy, loose Band-Aid solutions that cater only to reactionary fears of the present. I want Toronto to be city full of travelling choices for everyone.
