DO NOT REMOVE ANY BIKE LANES. REMOVAL OF THESE BIKE LANES = PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER.
THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE STUDIES THAT SHOW BIKE LANES:
INCREASE BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND REVENUE
DECREASE ACCIDENTS
DECREASE GRIDLOCK
REMOVING OF THESE BIKE LANES IS TELLING POOR PEOPLE IN THIS CITY THAT THEY DESERVE LESS THAN DRIVERS. I AM NO LESS THAN ANYONE IN A CAR AND MY OWN GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PUT ME IN HARMS WAY WHILE USING MY OWN TAX DOLLARS TO DO SO.
THIS CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENTs TREATMENT OF LOW-INCOME PEOPLE IS SICK AND DERRANGED.
HOUSE US INSTEAD OF PLAYING A GAME OF MONOPOLY WITH OUR MONEY.
INFO FROM https://www.tcat.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Bloor-Economic-Impact-St…
The percentage of customers cycling to Bloor nearly tripled (from 7% to 20%), a substantially
higher increase than on Danforth Avenue, which has no bike lane
The majority of merchants believed that at least 25% of their customers are driving to Bloor;
however fewer than 10% of customers reported arriving by car.
After the installation of the bike lane, the proportion of visitors who perceived Bloor Street as safe for cycling more than tripled (from 17% to 61%) and doubled among merchants (from 13% to 27%)
