These lanes contribute to health, safety and environment. They cost money to install and have begun changing the way our city moves. Numbers of cyclists are increasing. I bike now where 2 years ago I drive because it finally feels safe. Core bike lanes that are efficient (eg Adelaide, University below College, College St remove cars from the road. This transition takes time. Ripping out the lanes before they’ve fully been embraced is wasteful, ill-conceived political pandering. It is the opposite of leadership. Scores of northern European cities have proven that a robust biking system works!! We are well in our way to having one. We should NOT remove these lanes.
