Close to where I live, three people have been killed by car drivers in recent memory.

One was an innocent lady just standing on the sidewalk when a car jumped the curb and killed her.

Another was an innocent lady crossing a side street with a green light in her favour, and a truck zoomed around the corner and killed her.

Another, a couple years back, was a guy on a bike that had a car make a blind left turn in traffic and run him over, as he was biking along near the curb.

This might be "normal," but it is not acceptable.

The cost of a few people saving a couple minutes driving cannot be killing fellow Toronto citizens like this.

Bike lanes are an essential part of safe road design, and everyone has the right to get around without being killed by car drivers.
