I live in the Annex and work…

I live in the Annex and work downtown. I bike to work everyday, including through the winter, except on days when there is a lot of snow on the roads (which are minimal). I just the Bloor and University bike lanes daily, and the lanes on Yonge fairly regularly as well. I have been commuting by bike in Toronto since 2012, and the improvements for the infrastructure have made biking much safer in the city. I have also notice a significant uptick in the number of people biking in Toronto over the last decade or so. It seems evident - and I assume is backed up by data - that improved infrastructure will result in more bikers. Hard to see why this would be a bad thing. This policy will discourage bikers and put those who continue to bike in greater danger. The benefits seem marginal, at best. It should not be implemented.
