First and foremost, you…

First and foremost, you should understand that by removing bike lanes you are increasing the risk of danger, injury, and death to Torontonians who choose to bike. This demonstrates your lack of compassion and empathy toward citizens of the city.

Moreover, there is a basic misunderstanding of how traffic operates. By removing bike lanes, you will not be decreasing the amount of cars on the road. In fact, you may even increase the amount of cars on the road as people find it too dangerous to bike and go back to driving. Thus, the overall amount of traffic will not decrease. The only real way to improve traffic conditions in Toronto is to invest money in more and better public transit, which reduces the amount of cars on the road.

Finally, this bill shows an utter disregard for what is best for the environment, while simultaneously showing a disregard for the individuals of Toronto as well as the city as a whole, as stated above.

If you care for the safety, quality of life, and environment of Toronto, then you will not pass this bill.
