Tearing up bike lanes in the city of Toronto is not only going to create more congestion but create a drastically more unsafe environment for the most vulnerable people who share the road, cyclists, e-bikers and other more manual based vehicles. The removal of the bike lanes is only going to increase the width of the road by feet at most which will not be enough to add extra lanes and if even if extra lanes are added I predict a build it and they will come situation where once the road is able to be used by more cars we will be in a worse congestion issue then we are now as more cars flock to the newly gutted streets.

Cyclists are tax paying citizens of Toronto just like drivers are. To tell cyclists that their chosen mode of transit that has proven to elliviate congestion, help the reduction of C02 emissions, create a quieter city and offere more options to move around the city, therefore removing congestion from the roads, the province is telling cyclists that they are not worth queen's park's time and their tax dollars will be used to remove something that is used by them on a daily basis.

As a tax payer of Toronto I am disheartened and insulted by the province's disregard toward people who choose to move around the great city of Toronto in a way other than a car. If you want to alleviate congestion on our roads then put the money that will be used to rip out already existing infrastructure into our public transit system instead and give Torontonians even more option to move around, thus removing the need for more cars altogether and solving the congestion issue simultaneously.

Keep out of municipal issues Ford.
