The proposal for the removal of bike lanes is a gross misuse of funding, and by moving forward with this bill the City of Toronto is actively endangering thousands of both cyclists and drivers alike. There are other measures than can be taken to reduce gridlock that do not involve putting cyclists at risk, such as diverting funding in to expanding & improving upon our existing transit infrastructure. Access to bike lanes and improved transit infrastructure will result in less people driving their cars daily, therefore reducing gridlock, rendering this bill not only unnecessary but counterproductive.
Budget should be allocated to diversifying safe travel options for commuters, not removing infrastructure than has been created specifically to support creating a safe, efficient, environmentally friendly commute.
