To begin with, where is the data that backs up the proposal to "remove sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes" would reduce gridlock? Why is the provincial government coming in from one man's comments to shut down the city's progress towards a more friendly bike-able city?

I personally have been looking forward to more accessible bike lanes and bike shares in the downtown core so I can enjoy all the city has without adding to the gridlock by driving or inducing a demand for more ride shares. Biking along Queens Quay W, Adelaide, Richmond, and University Ave have been the only viable paths for me to feel safe - we need a lot more. I have since moved to North York and the infrastructure is just beginning to be built out - I can only reach a limited number of locations safely today.

Please do not stop the progress of adding bike lanes, I dream of a bikable city where my future children can safely get to school and activities without adding yet another car to the streets.
