Please don’t remove any…

Please don’t remove any existing bike lanes. I, and many others, consider them essential transportation infrastructure for commuting and day-to-day life. I personally use the Bloor and University bike lanes daily, and see them busy year round. I am concerned that the statistics being used to claim low usage of the bike lanes are out of date and misrepresentative of current usage (as they are from during the height of the pandemic when people were less likely to leave their homes).
Without bike lanes, I expect that people will continue to bike but will be forced to do so on roads with cars. Not only is this a major safety concern that puts me and countless other Torontonians at daily risk of injury and death while commuting, but it also defeats the purpose of removing the bike lanes. Cars will now just be stuck behind cyclists that they have been forced to share the road with. When I drive I prefer not having to worry about cyclists on the road with me. Separated bike lanes are better for everyone.
Please reconsider.
