To undo the work that was already done is a misuse of tax payers money. There are 1000s of bikers that use the lanes each day. Why would we eliminate such an important aspect of so many people’s day?

With increased bike usage and increased accessibility of bikes with tangerines city bike system, the number of riders continue to increase. Therefore, there will be more riders on the road risking potential injury from aggressive Toronto drivers with an unjustified vendetta against bikers.

From an environmental aspect, why wouldn’t we encourage more people bike instead? Giving people more safe options for their commute seems like a great idea. Why wouldn’t we encourage dispersing commuters to lower congestion in the city?

The bike lanes offer a safety net that is hard to find in a heavily dominated motor vehicle city. I admit biking can be dangerous, but systems like bike lanes help create a safe space. Furthermore, this safe space encourages more of our population to adopt biking as an alternative transportation method which helps reduce congestion.

Whether this comment is read or not, i just hope whoever is making the decisions truly considers each and every aspect and has hard evidence to back up this proposal.
