PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE ANY TORONTO BIKE LANES.

Simply, we are going backwards, not forward. The idea that Doug Ford can dictate what our city should be doing is very alarming. Especially when city council unanimously supported keeping bike lanes in place.

We live on a section of Yonge Street that had bike lanes installed two years ago and we have only seen increased use, not less. I would prefer the money be used to help house and care for the homeless that sleep on the sidewalk outside our building.

Cars are dangerous. Bikes and pedestrian traffic must be separated and Doug Ford's car-centric focus is incredibly frustrating. It clearly disregards the impact cars have on the environment and health of civilians in general. We should be pushing for a walkable, rideable and accessible city (and province) for all.

Finally I am deeply concerned where this government is going in all decisions affecting Toronto and the GTA (e.g. Ontario Place, Science Center, Greenbelt, a tunnel etc.). But the news of the bike lane removal sent me over the edge.

I am not alone in my opinions. Doug Ford does not have the best interest of Torontonians at heart. It's clearly a different group and we're suffering for it.

Really angry...
