Removing bike lanes feels…

Removing bike lanes feels like a huge step backward for a city aiming to be world-class. I'd love to see the data the province has to justify this move—especially when so many of us know that reliable transit options are limited, and the TTC doesn’t fully meet the city’s needs. Bike lanes aren't just a 'nice-to-have'; they're a necessary mode of transit.

Cities that prioritize sustainable transit are future-proofing their infrastructure. This proposal just tells Torontonians that the province isn’t committed to a forward-thinking approach. It would make much more sense to focus on expanding and improving transit sustainably, not cutting back on options people depend on.

There's also the safety issue: today’s bike lanes are packed not only with cyclists but also food couriers, e-bikes, and even motorized bikes. A conversation around this safety challenge is long overdue. Rather than pulling out existing lanes, why not look at how to make them safer for everyone?
