I briefly owned a car for a period while living out side of the downtown core. I have moved back downtown and since then my car has broken down and I decided to not replace it because it makes more financial sense to not own a car in a city that is already prohibitively expensive to rent in.

I do almost all of my commuting by bicycle. Transit is poor and traffic is dense in a way that the small amount of space allotted for bike lanes being removed will make no difference.

There is no where to park cars in most residential areas. Removing bike lanes and encouraging driving will actually increase dense traffic. It will create dangerous situations for young people and people without drivers licences and for people who are already struggling to get by financially.

Our tax money has also already been spent on the existing infrastructure and spending it again to remove it is absolutely unacceptable.

The lives of cyclists are not worth less than the extra time that drivers have to spend waiting in traffic--and I know how awful it is to sit in Toronto traffic.
