I am a resident if the city of Toronto. Bike lanes are public infrastructure that get people in the city moving. Having them on major roads makes our commercial strips vibrant, accessible to all commuters, and safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike. As someone who primarily walks or drives in the city, what gives drivers the rights to dominate main streets meant for all?

I would drive less if the TTC were more frequent and reliable. If you want to get people moving in the city, get them out of cars and onto public transit. Seeing the space that ten cars take up on Bloor, Yonge, or Avenue is humbling when you compare it to how many more people could fit into a bus or subway.

Toronto deserves to be a city built for the future, I don't want us to be stuck in the past. We have to innovate on how we move people around and not be stuck in the past trying things that we've done before that don't work. Let's build a vibrant thriving city that can be a leader and inspiration to cities globally on how we get ourselves moving.
