I am opposed to bike lane…

I am opposed to bike lane removal and to the unnecessary obstruction of future bike lanes. This proposal assumes that bike lanes contribute to congestion when research suggests that bike lanes are beneficial to traffic. Encouraging bike use in the city by having safe bike lanes can help with not only conhestion but lowering emissions. The city has implemented bike lanes in specific areas after carefull consideration of their impact. Locale stores have also voiced their support for bike lanes in the area because of their possitive impact.
Personally, I am a student and I specifically use the Bloor and Younge bike lanes to get to school, not because it is the fastyor most direct route, but because the bike lanes make it is the safest route, especially at night.
