Hello I support alternatives…

Hello
I support alternatives to driving. However it should not be at the expense of getting the vast majority of people to where they need to go, making our cities less accessible and putting people at risk to get out of cars or cross the street, and businesses suffering. The bike lanes are destroying communities where people could walk, shop and eat locally. It is also preventing people from travelling to other communities like those close to downtown or in the core of downtown.
There is so very little net gain and so much damage to so many people. If we want to help the environment this is not helping. Cars are idling, and there are so few people riding their bikes. Plus our weather is not compatible with the use of bikes for 5 months of the year. It would be ideal to have bike lanes but the costs are too great.
I fully support the provincial government in vetting the development of bike lanes particularly if it requires the removal of a car traffic lane. I fully support eliminating bike lanes on Bloor, university and other major arteries in the city that were implemented. The costs have been too great. This error cannot happen again.
