hello. regarding the proposal to remove existing bike lanes, and prevent future bike lane in the province of Ontario. I am in favour of bike lanes. They make transportation much safer for cyclists and pedestrians, and prevent automobile accidents.
I live in Cambridge, ON and have biked within in my city and to other cities.
There are times when you must have your car at the shop for repairs, and biking is a reliable way to get your car when you don't have a car.
I personally find bike lanes to be a drastic safety improvement, and very helpful, especially along busy roads like Homer Watson in Kitchener, ON.
Drivers are especially aggressive in Ontario cities, and do do not have concern for pedestrians and cyclists. Even speed controlled school zones and parking lots are dangerous places, for pedestrians and also the other drivers obeying the rules. I have seen pedestrians run down in cross walks in my city. Cyclists and people on motorized scooters opt to use the sidewalk since vehicle drivers are dangerous and negligent.
