Please, please don't do this…

Please, please don't do this. I rely on cycling as my main mode of transportation. I need bike lanes. The lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. are essential, I use all three of them nearly daily. Not all of us are wealthy enough to afford cars. And in light of the climate crisis, we need fewer cars and more bikes on the road. We need to remove car lanes to make room for bikes, not the other way around. Cities in Europe have even closed their downtown core to cars. That is the direction we should be moving. We know that getting cars off the road means safer, more walkable, more pedestrian and bike-friendly cities. Please shut down this poorly thought-out and shortsighted bill.
