As someone who primarily traverses Toronto as a pedestrian, the addition of bike lanes made me feel safer along Eglinton Avenue, Bloor Street, and University Avenue. Beyond the safety considerations of cyclists, the extra space and raised roadway puts distance between me and traffic on these busy roadways.

I also find it funny that Doug Ford said this from 2017: "One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders." I can't find the source from 2017 but saw it from this petition below.

Protected bike lanes save lives. That's the reason they were installed in the first place and often they are added after accidents happen. I don't like the idea of removing them for the convenience of drivers because I consider them to be important safety infrastructure for both cyclists and pedestrians alike.
