I am in strong opposition to the province removing Toronto City bike lanes. As a taxpayer, and resident of Etobicoke, I cycle frequently and have been hit by parked car doors, and have had hot coffee almost poured on me out of the window of a parked car. It is unbelievable that parking is allowed on city streets, but bike lanes that provides safety for cyclists will be removed.

On July 25, 2024 a young cyclist was killed biking in the Bloor Street bike lane, due to an illegally parked disposal bin in the bike lane. While cycling, I see illegally parked cars in the bike lane all the time. Instead of enforcing illegal parking of cars and other items, the province is instead removing these life saving bike lanes.

I implore the province, to save lives instead of saving motorists a few minutes.
