The decision to remove bike…

The decision to remove bike lanes will increase gridlock in the city as fewer cyclists and pedestrians will feel safe using active transportation and will flex to using automobiles on these same sections of roads.

The cyclists who persist will now be using an entire traffic lane…putting themselves, pedestrians and vehicle operators at increased risk of death or serious injury from car collisions along these stretches.

Removing bike lanes will not eliminate the daily bottlenecks of traffic on Gardiner Expressway or the DVP…they are the true root of slow-moving traffic in/out of the core…no bike lanes there

Please re-consider this decision in the interest of safety and community-building.
