I strongly disagree with…

I strongly disagree with this bill and believe it will harm Canadians. I can tell you that I and many others will continue to ride our bikes on the streets and you will see how you are actively endangering the lives of Canadians. I promise you that if the existing bike lanes (that were expensive for the tax payer to build, and will be expensive for tax payers to remove) were to be removed that traffic flow will not improve. If we are really trying to improve traffic flow, we need to divert people out of cars in urban areas, they are simply the least efficient mode of transport considering their size to transport capacity ratio, especially when people are mostly driving alone which is crazy. Buses and the subway are incredibly efficient and improving their networks is what will take a chunk of people out of cars, creating more space on the road for the remaining car users, creating better traffic flow for all users of the road. Removing the bike lanes that already exist will cause detrimental damage since a demand has already been created for it, many people including myself rely on this network that currently exists. Without it some people will be forced to ride cars instead which as mentioned above are the least efficient mode of transport, further worsening the flow of traffic on streets, they are also a heavy financial burden on people (of which there are many) when considering high gas prices, insurance etc. Others may be moved onto the currently existing bus and subway networks which are already strained at times, worsening transportation flow everywhere. Others like myself will continue to ride despite the removal of safety, increasing my likelihood of injury or death. I like to think myself as an open minded person and always to view things from multiple perspectives, this however, I just don't see any benefits to this one.
