I am cyclist in downtown…

I am cyclist in downtown Toronto. I use a multitude of cycle lanes including Simcoe, University, Bloor, Yonge. The removal of lanes or decrease in creating lanes will create even more traffic problems in the downtown area. As I cycle I see who uses the major cycling lanes on University, Bloor, Youge, etc - people like myself for appointments, work, meetings, school, shopping; tourists on rental bikes; people with companies that use delivery bikes such as Uber and FedEx. I see a variety of bikes from electric, to cycling, larger bikes, scooters.

Where are we all going to go when our bike lane is removed? I suspect we'll still use Bloor, Yonge streets - I know I will. But we'll be cycling in traffice! Is that what the proponents of Bill 212 want? Do they want workers, students, commuters, tourists cycling in car lanes and all the risks and traffic gridlock that will come with high use of bikes and other alternative travel competing with cars ... because of no bike lanes? It would be a nightmare for people like myself, staff cycling to hospitals on University, students cycling to university and college, touists on rental bikes!
If you love this City, its citizens, and the environment, vote NO to Bill 212.
