As a recent PhD graduate…

As a recent PhD graduate from the University of Toronto, that has lived and worked in the downtown area near College and University for over 5 years, please reconsider Bill 212 and its intent to remove bike lanes on University.

It seems fiscally irresponsible to spend taxpayer money on removing recent improvements that created safer dedicated bike lanes, especially without further study on the effects on traffic congestion. From my understanding the current provincial study indicates removing bike lanes will not improve traffic flow.

Convenient transport across multiple methods of transit (be that car, bike, streetcars or subways) is important for young adults when they choose which city they want to live/work in.
