I strongly object to this…

I strongly object to this proposal to review municipal bike lanes and specifically to remove bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge Streets. There is no evidence that removing bike lanes reduces congestion. Bike lanes, particularly in downtowns where there are a lot of people making short trips, reduce congestion by shifting trips from more congested modes (both cars and transit, for these routes), reduce GHG emissions, and most importantly improve safety.

I personally use both the Bloor and University bike lanes. With the University bike lane to Dundas my ride has become much safer, since I can avoid taking Dundas from Beverly, which is narrow and doesn't have a bike lane.

To address congestion downtown, I would recommend focusing on addressing congestion resulting from construction, and improving enforcement, particularly of illegal parking and blocking of intersections.
