I am writing to express my strong support for the development and preservation of bike infrastructure in our community. The recent proposal to remove existing bike lanes on primary roads, specifically on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue, is concerning.

Bike lanes are essential for promoting sustainable transportation, reducing traffic congestion, and enhancing public safety. Studies have shown that well-designed bike lanes can lead to a decrease in accidents and encourage more residents to choose cycling over driving, thereby alleviating road congestion.

Removing these bike lanes could reverse the progress made in creating a more bike-friendly city and discourage residents from adopting healthier, more environmentally friendly modes of transportation.

I urge the government to reconsider this decision and to continue investing in bike infrastructure that benefits all citizens.
