Hello, As a frequent cyclist…

Hello,

As a frequent cyclist and driver in the city of Toronto for many years I have seen the positive outcome of the creation of bike lanes. The separate bike lanes have created such a safe and reliable way to get around the city and I appreciate them while driving my vehicle as well. It gives me confidence as a driver to know that the bikers are in their own lane and not have to worry about potentially hitting a cyclist in my lane. Safety should be more of a concern than relieving traffic conditions that will barely help. It’s not about the bike lanes it’s the sheer amount of vehicles on the road. With less bike lanes means more people will chose not to. It’s especially dangerous and irresponsible to do this with the amount of vehicles on the road especially during rush hours. I think this bill should not be pushed through.
