I’m an Etobicoke resident down at Islington and Lakeshore (M8V3A7).
I am a year round cyclist and a driver, making use of bike lanes to commute to downtown for work, and I frequently ride around the city for fun, or when running errands.
I strongly support a comprehensive network of separated bike lanes on main streets and side streets.
Bike lanes have so many benefits to the city population.
- Safety for users if they are true separated bike lanes. More bikes is less cars. Less cars means less congestion. This isn’t rocket science.
- Offers affordable transportation for Ontarians
- Lower impact on healthcare system due to health benefits of cycling.
- Speed of transit
- A more intimate experience with my city that leads to a better neighbourhood anywhere they are installed.
- Less cars on the road!
I am upset at the Premier’s recent actions against municipal politics and think it is a sever overreach.
Please do not remove any bike lanes, instead add more and make huge investments into mass transit to connect all Ontario.
