We want to be able to get around Toronto quickly and safely. The bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University help us do that. We live a block away from the Bloor bike lanes. Depending on where we need to go we bike, take transit or drive. Removing the bike lanes would remove an efficient option for getting around and push us to drive more. More driving would increase gridlock.
My partner relies on the bike lanes to get to work quickly and safely. We just want effective transportation and this bill would remove that.
The removal of these bike lanes would also make the experience of driving in the city worse. Keeping cyclists separate from drivers is easier for everyone. The removal of the bike lanes would put more cyclist back in front of vehicles.
A tremendous amount of study and consultation has gone into every Toronto bike lane. The conclusion of that has been clear: bike lanes are efficient, good for local business, and make us all safer. All we need to do is let cities keep making these decisions themselves.
This removal of these bike lanes by the province would be expensive and wasteful overreach. Don't waste the taxes I pay.
