Comment
I strongly oppose the provincial government’s proposal to convert sections of the bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue back into motor vehicle lanes. While the proposal is aimed at “getting drivers where they need to go faster,” this approach reflects a narrow view of urban planning that fails to consider the needs of all Torontonians.
A truly effective transportation policy must address the needs of everyone—not just drivers. Toronto is a city where many people depend on a combination of public transit, cycling, and walking, alongside driving. Removing bike lanes prioritizes one group and compromises the safety, sustainability, and efficiency of travel for all others. Take note of how other metropolitan cities have been doing it successfully for years.
