As a commuter using a bicycle to get to work EVERY day for the last 35 years (throughout the year - yes, snow does not deter and we are 62 and 71!) I and many others really appreciate the bike lanes that have been built. I accept that there may be some inconvenience to car commuters. How does this inconvenience created by safe bike lanes compare to the traffic obstruction created by the enormous amount of uncoordinated construction in the city,
It is a delight to see parents commuting with their kids to school in safe bike lanes. This will not happen if lanes are removed.
Bloor street lanes have been transformative for safety. Those lanes are often packed at commute times.
If you will bully city council into removing lanes, propose a safe alternative route. And don’t expect us city tax payers to pay for it.

WOULD IT NOT BE GREAT IF TORONTO CAN SELL ITSELF AS THE SAFEST BIKE CITY IN NORTH AMERICA (we have a long way to go to catch up with cities in Europe).

RATHER THAN PUSH CYCLISTS OFF THE PATHS AND ONTO THE DANGEROUS ROADS USE THIS AS A LEVER TO CONTINUE TO COERCE SOME OF THOSE DRIVERS TO LEAVE THEIR CARS AT HOME AND GET ON TWO WHEELS OR USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT. USE THE FUNDS YOU WILL WASTE RIPPING UP CURRENT BIKE LANES TO ENHANCE OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM.
