Bike lanes are critical…

Bike lanes are critical within Toronto, it would be a huge loss if even one was removed. They encourage an alternate form of transportation and provide a safe way for cyclist to get around. As Toronto sees many non-resident drivers within it's boundaries, they often don't know to look for or navigate around cyclists. Hence why many cyclist find it can be dangerous to ride their bikes. As a cyclist myself, I have experienced this fear and I always feel better when there is a dedicated bike lane available. I typically map my route out based on these. Please do not reverse progress.
