Bike lanes separated from…

Bike lanes separated from cars save lives and make commuting by bike feasible. My children and I regularly use the Bloor St bike lanes to commute downtown and go to and from school and we love them. These bike lanes actually reduce car congestion because if we didn’t have bike lanes to use, commuters like us would otherwise drive.
Toronto commuters are frustrated because of road construction projects, like the Eglinton Crosstown project, that have continued to snarl traffic for years past than their promised completion dates. This is understandable, but removing bike lanes isn’t going to reduce traffic congestion, it will only add to it while wasting city and provincial resources. Plus tearing up major streets to remove bike lanes for years will just make traffic worse with yet another road construction project.
Also, biking is fun, great exercise and connects us to our community and the city as a whole.
