My best friend was killed while biking on Bloor. They had just graduated with a Master's degree and was going to change the world. That's the thing, removing these bike lanes costs the lives of people and the future of Toronto and Canada. It is a hate crime against the poor and young. People who use these streets, especially students and young workers who are unable to afford cars are going to suffer. People will still have to take these streets to get to school and work. Without bike lanes they will just be placed in more danger.

It's also been established that widening highways and building more roads does not reduce congestion. People are going to die, and congestion isn't even going to improve. Please take this proposal back to the drawing table and use some more updated information and proper research. Allow white collar workers who can afford to drive to work from home while investing the money into better public transit and safer bikeways for the backbone of the country; those who have to go to work in person and earn the least. Thank you.
