Please do not remove the new bike lanes or make it harder for the City of Toronto to install new bike lanes.

As a pedestrian, I often have to share the sidewalk with cyclists because it's not safe for them to be riding in the street with drivers who either disregard or deprioritize the safety of cyclists (and pedestrians). Removing bike lanes would exacerbate that, both in a physical sense and by signaling that cars are more important.

There is also the issue that it's a waste of taxpayer money to remove these bike lane projects, some of which were just completed. It's clearly a step in the wrong direction to remove bike lanes. If we truly want to improve gridlock, it would make more sense to encourage people to commute via cycling, taking public transportation, and walking rather than incentivizing more people to drive.
