Disappointed at this plan. It does not serve the needs of the people who use these roads most - those that live by them - people like me and my daughter. Because of the bike lanes on Bloor, we are able to bike to her activities, try e movies, and her friends house. We chose to bike instead of drive. Eliminating these lanes will add our car to the road and prevent my daughter from getting needed exercise. It’s simply not safe for children to bike in the city without them. This bill actively hurts the health of children in Toronto and prevent them riding bikes safely.
In addition, this bill does not have the appropriate research to back claims made that the bike lanes are causing delays. Construction is far more disruptive. On university avenue, no driving lanes have been affected by installing safe bike lanes. They are only blocked by construction. I insist that proper research be completed to fully understand the cost and impacts of any bike lane removal. This is vital infrastructure that should not be removed in a personal opinion. Let’s take our uptime to evaluate and understand and make smart informed choices.
Our want city streets are not highways. They are to serve community, not commuting.
