Removing bike lanes - especially protected bike lanes like the one on Bloor - will increase the number of people driving, congestion, and accidents involving bikes and cars.
If the Government of Ontario truly:
- Recognizes the need to get people and goods out of gridlock and save Ontario residents (not just drivers) and businesses time and money;
- Recognizes that accidents and lane closures (as well as injury and risk to the life of Ontario residents who use biking as a mode of transportation) can worsen traffic congestion and impact the quality of life of Ontarians;
- Connecting people in all parts of Ontario, including people from rural areas (like myself) who don't want to drive in downtown traffic and choose to bike as a mode of urban transportation; and,
- Recognizes the importance of transportation to millions of people from across Ontario, not just when these people are driving; then,
The Government of Ontario should absolutely not spend millions of tax-payer dollars to remove bikes lanes.
