I am a cyclist and I use the bike lanes from Greenwood and Danforth and down Avenue Rd/University Ave to the financial core. I have done this 152 times this year. I feel safer on bike lanes and not sure how removing them and having bikes and cars in the same lane - could be better than what we have. I have witnessed first hand travelling out of a bike lane does - as I saw the female cyclist after she got hit by a truck on Bloor in Yorkville this summer. It was tragic and preventable.
Not only will cyclists be denied safety if the bike lanes are removed - it will add chaos with all the ebike food delivery vehicles. Not to mention scooters too.
Dedicated lanes save lives. Adding bikes and scooters to traffic is a recipe for more deaths. Main arteries are also serviced by transit so why are we re-prioritizing cars above all else? Ontario should also not be meddling in Toronto’s streets. This is overstepping.
