I fully support this…

I fully support this proposed framework to enable provincial approval for new bike lanes on municipal roads requiring removal of a traffic lane and grant the authority to establish a review process on other existing bike lanes (where the removal of a lane of traffic took place), but even more importantly to allow the province to require the City of Toronto to remove selected bike lane sections in Toronto, and especially the ones that were recently installed on Bloor Street West between Jane Street, west towards Islington Avenue.

I also strongly agree with Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria's statement made a few weeks ago that "Bike lanes should be on secondary roads, where they make sense for the more than 70 per cent of people who drive and for the 1.2 per cent who commute by bike. It’s just common sense.”

I believe that the reasons to remove the recently installed bike lanes on Bloor Street West between Jane and Islington have been well articulated in this recent petition and represent my point of view very well:

The comments posted by the public under "Reasons for signing" on that same petition page also capture many valid points.
