Please reconsider this ill…

Please reconsider this ill-advised and dangerous legislation.

Based on information that was made public just last week, we've reconfirmed that removing these bike lanes is not an evidence based proposal to achieve the government's objectives. It will: cost 10s of millions of dollars to tax payers; will not solve congestion issues that Toronto experiences and at least during the construction period, make them much worse; and finally and most importantly will result in more injury, death and property damage.

As an individual who both drives and bikes on bloor st. daily, it is tragic to think that constructions on many parts was just completed some months ago and we will all be thrown back into the chaotic state that the roads were for the past year. Transportation is such an important issue, please focus on real projects that will actually address these issues such as getting the Eglington LRT MOVING; building the Ontario line, building more highways, subsidizing the 407, even doing a real study into traffic patterns. This legislation is based on anecdotal experiences of a few - it is clear that the bike lanes have made driving less chaotic and stressful and are making it safer for everyone.

Biking is better for our health, it is better for our environment, it is better for our mental health. Please reconsider.
