Removing already established…

Removing already established bike lanes in Toronto is going to lead to people being killed.. there are already proven studies that show that bike Lanes reduce vehicle usage and increase travel times by getting cars off the road. Why are these studies not being taken into account? We should be moving towards more sustainable cities and transportation and this is a step backwards.

Why are other factors not being taken the account? Such as the fact that Uber has put tens of thousands of additional personal vehicles on the road... Or why is there not more enforcement of cars illegally parking on streets, parking and bike lanes, putting on their four-way flashers and blocking traffic on main roads to pick up a food delivery.. removing bike lanes that keep human being safe is not going to make traffic less congested... Bad drivers are still going to illegally stop and park, it's not like that problem is going to be solved, what will happen is human beings will be killed from this decision as they will have to mix with traffic...everyday I witness cars illegally turning at the intersection of yonge and eglinton in midtown toronto, blocking through traffic because they are not paying attention to the no turn signs...the bike lane on Eglinton this location is not causing traffic congestion, it's the driver's blocking their own traffic by not paying attention and following the laws of the road... it's extremely dangerous and saddening that this is the direction that my government is taking us, a government that's supposed to represent all citizens.

There are studies that show that bike Lanes decreased travel times and ease congestion by giving people more sustainable Transit options why is my government that supposed to represent me, not taking to account these studies? Why are we not using actual data and science in making these decisions?

Why are we so slow to open up public transit projects, projects that would take more cars off the road...the Eglinton LRT going into its 15th year of construction is a sad and pathetic joke and makes the city look like a laughing stock... Infrastructure is not kept up with the recent population explosion and this is unacceptable.

I hope there is a reconsideration of this proposal...let's not move backwards in becoming more sustainable...we used to be proud to say Ontario was the place to grow...let's not lose that
