As a taxpayer, a driver, and a cyclist, I am very concerned about the reduction of bike lanes in the City of Toronto. If we want to eventually move to a city with the kind of environmental footprint that some storied European cities enjoy, and take our place in the world as a beacon of environmental hope during these times of climate change, we absolutely need to keep these bike lanes in place. As a driver, I don’t see the bike lanes as detrimental to the flow of traffic. There are many other reasons that lead to gridlock in Toronto, but I firmly believe that the bike lanes are the least of these reasons. If it were up to me, I would strike down this bill immediately. Thank you.
