Hi. I use bike lanes almost everyday. When there is no bike lane like on yonge below bloor, bay above college, or spadina, I am forced to ride in the traffic, not fun for me or for the driver. I try my best to avoid these routes and stay on the bike lane where possible. But if you delete the uni ave bike lane then it becomes more difficult for me to do that.

Currently, toronto has a usable bike lane system. That is to say, there is much room for improvement. When we have a more connected bike lane system, when it becomes easier to get to most destinations on the bike (without having to mingle with cars), it will incentivize people to ride more. The 3 feet bike lane can carry more traffic than a 10 feet car lane on certain days. The bike lane also gives people choice in regards to which way they choose to travel. Way easier to park a bike too.

I will always support the government that supports a bikeable neighborhood.
