Ripping out bike lanes on these major streets will not only make cyclists' commutes more difficult and dangerous, the construction work will make drivers way more angry and late than they claim to be now! This hasty proposal is being made without proper evidence or data. My entire office of 15 people cycles to work at least 3 times a week, and almost all of us use the bike lanes that are being proposed to be removed. While I understand being frustrated stuck in traffic, I do not think removing the bike lanes will help, and even if they do, why are drivers being prioritized over folks who don't have access to a personal vehicle? When public transit is as underfunded and therefore unreliable in Toronto, cycling is the easiest, cheapest, fastest way to get to work and school for many. I DO NOT support this act and would like to ensure my voice is heard in this manner.
