I believe that bicycle lanes…

I believe that bicycle lanes are important and necessary for the City of Toronto. I use the bicycle lanes on Bloor Street from High Park to the Danforth. Harbord street to get to work and other bike lanes for shopping and leisure.
As a middle aged woman I feel comfortable biking on a regular basis in the downtown area. My husband and teenage son also bike to work and to get around locally.

It is much safer and faster for everyone to have bike lanes. As a driver you don’t need to worry about cyclists being too close to your vehicle. And as a cyclist you are less likely to get injured.

I know that vehicle driving times are not significantly increased. And I would hate to waste money on taking out the amazing and long awaited bike lanes. (If you want to take out the ones in Etobicoke, go ahead)

Bike lanes keep cyclists off the main road lane and give vehicles their space to drive.

One more bike equals one less car on the road!
