Hi,

I’m a senior who tries to cycle as often as I can, including to the downtown core for many appointments.

After many years I finally feel safe travelling by bike as I use the segregated lanes.

Removing these and going back to shared lanes reduces safety for all those who cycle. Drivers in Toronto don’t respect cyclists and this will result in more accidents and deaths.

Saving lives should be the goal not getting somewhere 5 minutes faster.

It took a long time to develop bike routes that I have seen in many cities around the world. If Toronto and Ontario truly want to be world class this is definitely a step in the wrong direction.

Thank you for your consideration in keeping what we have built and using the funds to revive the bike lanes on priorities like the homeless and health care.
