I am absolutely opposed to this proposal. As a lifelong Torontonian and cyclist, now with a new family, I am horrified to think of reducing safety for myself, my child and my fellow bike riders on this city’s streets. I use the bike lanes in question daily, and rely on them to get to work and home safely. The power to remove them, at great cost by taxpayers, offers no benefit. Neither Vehicular traffic nor pedestrians will experience improvements and certainly cyclist deaths will increase.

Further, environmental impact assessments must be conducted following due process when considering any and all highway construction, most certainly 413. This highway will cut through important and rare old growth conservation lands and comes at great cost to our local ecosystem and regional value.
