The bike lanes are safe. They create a physical barrier which allows cyclists to travel through the city safely without fear of being hit by cars trying to impatiently beat traffic into the core of the city. Ripping out bike Lanes will cause more accidents and more deaths.

We should be creating more bike Lanes to alleviate traffic into the city. Not encouraging drivers to bring more cars downtown, where there is already limited parking and significant congestion. We should be investing in more public transportation and bike Lanes rather than encouraging people from outside the core to drive downtown.

It's unfortunate that Doug Ford doesn't actually spend any time downtown and only thinks about what bike Lanes mean to him and his friends who live outside the city; without thinking about what bike Lanes mean to the Torontonians that live in the city. It means safer streets for cyclists, less congestion, and less Pollution.
