I thought this was a joke at first. Anyone tied to the attempt of removing or trying to remove bike lines should be fired and ashamed to be a public servant. This city needs progressive and sustainable thinking to set itself apart from other cities. This requires systemic changes like reinforcement of bike lanes and infrastructure that supports the city’s development while enriching and protecting the lives of its citizens. Make more bikes lanes, access to bikes, safer locking methods and more people will be able to use them. If there’s currently not enough use of bikes in cities maybe it’s because cities need to do more to make biking more practical and safer, by reinforcing the bike lanes, making laws that prevent drivers from obstructing them and leading to accidents as well as more licensing for bike owners if that’s an option to protect bikes from theft. A crackdown on thieves and making special bike parking that wouldn’t allow for crime would make it much easier to own, and use a bike within the city and get to enjoy the bike lanes without having to worry about loosing your mode of transportation to theft. There really should be a downtown congestion tax for drivers to encourage cyclists as well as Go train patrons. Prioritizing the use of privately owned motor vehicles when typically there’s only one occupant per vehicle is a mistake.
