I live in downtown Toronto…

I live in downtown Toronto. I walk to work, and bike or drive to do errands. My kids use a combination of side street bike routes and the Bloor street bike lane to get to school.
I am concerned that removing bike lanes will make cycling less viable as a transportation alternative due to reduced safety. I am also totally unconvinced that removing the lanes will improve motor vehicle congestion. The problem is total volume, not flow. Indeed, removing these bike lanes is likely to increase traffic, because people like me will feel the need to drive my kids around, vs biking.
I urge the government to reconsider, or at least study, this policy.
