Bike lanes save lives,…

Bike lanes save lives, period. There is no data or evidence used here to show that bike lanes increase gridlock or commute times or congestion. This is a baseless overreach into the city's oversight of its own infrastructure.

People want more transportation options, not fewer. People want a cleaner, greener city. A healthier city. More space for cars on the road means more cars on the road, which causes more congestion.

This is not about reducing gridlock! This is jurisdictional overreach, putting the lives of all road users and especially cyclists at risk and imposing into Toronto's affairs. Safety and quality of life are the cost of this political folly.

Over 6 cyclists have already been killed in Toronto this year. Removing and limiting bike lanes in Toronto may be to blame for any more, if bike lanes are removed.

Bike lanes save lives, are good for businesses, health, and safety. They provide freedom and mobility to so many people who choose not to or cannot drive.

The government is crushing that freedom and safety and progress in this bill.
