As a Torontonian who relies on all modes of transportation—car, public transit, and bicycle—I strongly oppose the removal of any bike lanes and believe our city needs even more of them. Removing bike lanes is a waste of taxpayers' money. Bike lanes reduce traffic congestion by offering a safe alternative for more people to choose cycling, easing the load on our overcrowded streets. Adding another car lane will not solve our congestion issues; what we need are more people on bikes and more public transit options.

Living on the subway line, I experience firsthand the challenges of getting on the subway during rush hour. Cyclists help relieve this pressure, and instead of prioritizing more space for cars, the government should focus on building a more robust public transit system and cycling infrastructure. Toronto deserves to grow as the world-class city it is, and that means investing in sustainable transportation solutions that benefit everyone.
