Toronto needs more bike…

Toronto needs more bike lanes and safe cyclist passage. Rather than just getting rid of the bike lanes established on pavement, Toronto would do well to look to the netherlands as an example, and have separate raised pavement for cyclists only, besides the sidewalks, as well as traffic lights. Once those are in place, then the asphalt can go back to the drivers only.

The idea to create bike lanes by carving up the existing roads has frustrated many of us, but it is imperative that cyclists have a clear and safe path of transportation. By giving them their own raised path beside the sidewalk, this would make it so there is less road congestion and accidents.

Cyclists, motor vehicle drivers and pedestrians deserve equal access and safety. Our city development should reflect that and go forward with an improved system for cyclists, rather than backwards by getting rid of paths on the main streets.
