My sons are on those roads. Bike lanes keep them alive.
I beg you not to proceed with Bill 212.
I am a mom of two boys. We all ride our bikes in the city. The bike lanes keep us safe.
I make sure that they have lights, wear helmets, ride respectfully and safely, but every time they grab their bikes to go to school, work or play. Every time I see them coming home after dark, I am terrified.
The bike lanes separate the road and ensure that they can't have a door opened on them or a car crash into them. They actively choose bike lanes on Bloor Street in particular because Dupont is way too dangerous.
Look! I drive. I walk and I ride. I use every form of transportation to get around the city. I know that congestion can be frustrating for everyone, but is is worth the life of one of our children?
I BEG YOU! Please please please keep my boys safe. Bike lanes - esp on Bloor - do that for my family.
Toronto has come so far making Toronto safer for everyone. I hope that Ontario can 'stay in its lane' and let Toronto do what it needs to do to keep our roads less congested (you don't need two more cars on the road making it worse) and safer for everyone.
