Hi so as someone who uses…

Hi so as someone who uses the Bloor bike lanes daily, among routes, please do not remove them.

The street always had right lane parking, making it the same as it is now. Traffic has always been bad on Bloor.

The difference now is that cyclists are safe, out of the way of cars, making it safe for everyone. Less likely to be doored or have a car side swipe you because they didn’t see you in the lane.

If you remove bike lanes, all you’re doing is putting cyclists back into the main traffic. We are still going to be on the roads, making everyone’s commute slower and dangerous.

Subways are crowded and unsafe, gas and cars are expensive, and now you want to remove one thing of progress that makes living downtown safer and better for the environment.

Making room for more traffic only makes more traffic. It doesn’t help speed up anyone’s day.
