I am a 57 year old resident of downtown Toronto. Driving through downtown Toronto, as you know, is a frustrating experience. As such, I find it far more efficient, and pleasant, to ride my bike everywhere. The dedicated bike lanes have transformed my experience as a cyclist.
A couple of times a week, I visit my aging parents who live at Dupont and Davenport. I'm happy to leave my car parked and wend my way up to their neighbourhood via bike lanes. Would you prefer I take my car and add to the congestion?
We don't need more cars on the streets of Toronto - we need fewer. Encourage people to cycle safely and take public transit. The physics of more cars on our already clogged streets do no make sense.
No other city in the world is going backwards on this issue, as the province seems poised to do.
In addition, let the city decide what is best for the city.
