I am dismayed that the Ontario Government would interfere with City of Toronto's action plan to incentivize Toronto residents to use their cars less, stay active and ensure cyclists safety by removing the bike lanes, particularly on the busiest streets - Bloor St, University St and Yonge St - where you'll see the most cyclists. It is such a relief for me to reach these streets where the protected bike lanes are in place after cycling along other streets such as Dufferin and King, where I do not feel as safe. And seeing the number of other cyclists also using these bike lanes brings me a sense of pride and community. We should be increasing the number of bike lanes in Toronto, not removing them. The Ontario Government has no business making decisions about bike lanes, especially if the decision makers live outside of Toronto, only to drive in and out of the city core to the suburbs or beyond, and have never had the pleasure of biking around in the downtown core. And what an incredibly wasteful way to spend Ontario taxpayers money.
