As a resident of Toronto and a car driver in the city, I'm strongly opposed to this policy.

Research has shown that bike lanes actually improve congestion, by reducing the number of cars on the road and making bikers and drivers safer, thus reducing the number of accidents and mitigating gridlock. Moreover, bike lanes improve throughput to local businesses and increase nearby property value.

I am resolute that the removal of bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University will do more harm than good to local traffic and Ontarians' quality of life.
