I cannot support the removal of existing bike infrastructure along Bloor, University, and Younge.

Removal will cost tax payers likely millions of dollars, will increase traffic temporarily through construction processes along these roads, will increase risk for downtown cyclists, and will not reduce congestion. I remember 10 years ago, when bike lanes didn't exist along any of these corridors and traffic was still bumper to bumper.

If the province needs to increase lanes along these corridors, perhaps consider removing surface parking lanes and replacing them with standard traffic lanes. These lanes are ineffecient, allowing a small number of cars (often 10-20 per block) to block the movement of all commuters. If cars need to park in an area they should be able to use the local side streets or parking garages.
