Removing bike lanes is going to lead to more deaths on the road and make Toronto a joke in the eyes of other countries and cities who are progressing by making cities more connected and healthy for their citizens.
My main mode of transport in Toronto is by bike. When there is no protected bike lane I feel scared for my life because one wrong movement of a steering wheel can kill me and my family members.
There is no evidence to support that removing bike lines in favour of increased car lanes will lead to less traffic. So why are we spending 10s of millions of dollars?
Every bike rider that uses a car, because they don't have access to safe connected bike lanes, means that there is one more car on the road and making traffic worse, increasing pollution, and leading to more deaths.
Please continue to service the nearly 10% of all travellers in Toronto that use bikes to get around. And continue with policies that increase that number.
