I am a cyclist in Toronto. Removing the bike lanes on Yonge, Bloor and University is a terrifying and dangerous prospect as those lanes are used quite frequently and sharing a lane with car traffic opens more opportunities to get hit or injured. Adding more car lanes does not reduce gridlock, this has already been studied and proven. If this province wants to reduce gridlock and gas emissions, it should invest in more protected bike lanes (to encourage more people to bike), consistent public transit, and high speed rail transportation.
I want to live in a city where I have the freedom to move through out it in relative safety and there is less noise and air pollution caused by vehicles. It's 2024, it is about time this country/province acknowledges that building more infrastructure for cars is backwards thinking.
Thank you.
