The bike lanes through the city of Toronto and particularly on Bloor St are an essential mode of transportation in the city. They increase accessibility and already contribute to a reduction in traffic by increasing the number of people cycling. People will always cycle through the city, however to do so without a bike lane with barriers from traffic will greatly increase the risks. The fatality of cyclists is a much more likely outcome if the bike lanes are removed. I personally bike instead of driving to work and I only feel safe in doing so because there are barriered bike lanes on Bloor St. Please do not remove them as they are so essential for safety. I do not wish to live in a city with we take away safe, essential and environmentally friendly modes of transportation. This would be a tragedy for our city and I gravely worry for everyone’s safety if this bill proceeds. The people of Toronto have spoken, please respect our need for bike lines with barriers.
