This bill will achieve…

This bill will achieve exactly the opposite of what it says it will do. As someone who drives, bikes, and takes public transit, having a protected and separated bike lane is an essential piece of infrastructure that can only benefit a major thoroughfare like Bloor St, Yonge St, and University Ave. Keeping bikes in their own lane on the same street keeps me safe by avoiding conflicts. When driving, bike lanes have minimally impacted my commute. Conversely, the mentioned bike lanes (and all others) have only improved my commute when biking and taking public transit. They enable me to have more, safer options of commuting while taking cars off the road and reducing gridlock.
