The removal of bike lanes to decrease traffic is misguided and against all current evidence. Removing the bike lanes does not make you are removing cyclist traffic, but instead cauTsing more traffic when these cyclists take the entire lane. As both a driver and a cyclist, it is terrifying driving beside a bike on a busy road when they do not have a dedicated lane and vise versa and leaves both road users vulnerable to accidents. Removing existing bike lanes is not only a waste of tax dollars but also will certainly result in increased deaths amongst vulnerable road users and halt progress on the City of Toronto's Vision Zero. Is using taxpayer money to increase fatal harm and hinder the health and safety of Torontonians the best use of the budget?
