First and foremost, we need to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, and encouraging people to bike is an important part of this reduction. And, research has repeatedly shown that widening roads makes congestion worse so taking bike lanes away to reduce car congestion is not sound.
Ontarians need more options to get around, not fewer! With the rising costs of living, our family relies on our bikes for a lot of our transportation. Removing bike lanes will pose a significant safety issue for my family as we try to navigate our city. We do not believe the province should be allowed to meddle in decisions best made by municipalities.
Finally, removing bike lanes is a waste of taxpayers money, and businesses will also suffer from reduced traffic.
