Hi,

I’ve been a resident of Toronto for almost my entire life. I grew up in Etobicoke and now live in Roncesvalles. I was very sad and disappointed to see our government wish to remove bike lanes in our province.

Biking is my main method of transportation - I use it for commuting, to run errands, to visit my family/friends, and to just get around the city. I use either the Bloor or Yonge bike lane almost daily. Removing these bike lanes will affect my personal safety and the safety of so many others who use them.

I would like to see effective public transportation, personal safety, and carbon savings prioritized over temporarily saving a few minutes of driving commute times. Gridlock is only going to get worse and worse if we keep prioritizing car transportation in a growing metropolis like Toronto.

Thank you.
