Living in a dense city like Toronto requires transit options that don’t clog up our roads. To imagine the province stepping in to over-rule municipal decisions on commuter / cycling safety is frustrating. I both drive a car and cycle in downtown Toronto and while bicycle lanes can be a bit of a nuisance when it comes to finding parking or rush-hour congestion, it has encouraged me to cycle places more and more when the weather permits, taking one more car off the road that would otherwise be adding to the congestion. I’m sure I’m not alone in the group of people who choose to ride their bikes as a preferred mode of transport.
I ride my bike to work daily on a very predictable commute time, with segregated bike lanes available the whole way. Even with this, drivers can be negligent of cyclist safety and I have regular close calls.
Removing bike lanes would be a step backward for a dense city that thrives on providing safe options to cyclists.
