Save lives, save health, save time, save bike lanes.

1. Why would the provincial government add more red tape to municipalities.

2. I use bike lanes multiple times a week. The Toronto bike share is growing. We need to make people feel safe to keep them open minded about this alternative form or transportation.

3. We need to prioritize the safety and commuting preferences of locals. Young people living downtown cannot afford cars, but luckily do not need cars with good public transportation. Prioritizing cars will ruin downtown communities in favour of people living in suburbs. People who live downtown should be the ones who get to vote on bike lanes.

4. Science shows this is a dumb idea. One of the most reproducible results from urban planning research shows that increased car lanes don't reduce congestion. This has been proven hundred of times. This plan will do nothing but harm.
