Hello, I think this…

Hello,

I think this proposal is both dangerous and greatly misguided. Bike lanes do not increase traffic, but have been proven time and time again to do the opposite - reduce traffic. In a city as busy as Toronto, it is important to prioritize and encourage active transportation. The increase of cyclists will decrease the amount of car users. Without these significant bike lanes, biking also becomes much more dangerous for cyclists. Cars often do not pay attention to cyclists whereas a bike lane provides a safe lane for biking.
