The removal of bike lanes…

The removal of bike lanes from some of Toronto’s busiest through streets puts public safety at direct risk. The ministry of transportation should prioritize public safety over the unfounded theory that removing these bike lanes would reduce car congestion. How do you propose residents are to travel safely east and west bound or south and north bound when removal of these bike lanes limits routes for cyclists to safely connect to common routes like the lakeshore without the risk of being blown off the road by cars? This is nothing but an irresponsible political tantrum. Putting peoples lives at risk to appease a minority group of car centric people is an egregious act. I do not support the removal of bike lanes and commend our policy makers to turn to peer reviewed research that has demonstrated the benefits and efficacy of bike lanes in reducing the risk of road related deaths and injury. I am sick and tired of populist politics that blatantly research and sound policy. How am I to trust the government if they never have our best interest at heart? Greed and capitalism fuels this current government. Rather than use limited tax payer money to remove these bike lanes, why not dedicate these funds to services you otherwise ignore like healthcare, education, support those who are unhoused, public health, literally any social health initiative would benefit from this money. What a waste.
