I am entirely opposed to this proposal to remove bike lanes.

Travelling in our city has become a disaster, but we cannot blame bike lanes for the state we are in.

Our transit is appalling. It is unreliable and UNSAFE.

The people who ride bikes are just trying to get to work or where they need to go without having to endure our awful gridlock on the roads or the safety and reliability issues of the ttc. Your obvious hate of your fellow neighours who are just trying to live our lives and get to work is obvious and totally disgusting.

Why have we not invested in our transit or our roads? We just keep ripping them up and putting them back together with no improvement on traffic flow. Can we not make a smart long-term investment in our future roads? What the hell is the problem??

Just one example of poor road planning is the Eglinton line that has taken years of construction impeding traffic across multiple areas and it is still not usable. If it were working and felt safe I would be able to take transit to work. As it stands now I would have to take three different buses, which would not work because buses are entirely unreliable. SO I DRIVE. I would cycle if it didn't feel like a death sentence.

I live in the east end of the beach area of the city and went for dinner at my son's place in Hamilton a few weeks ago. It took THREE HOURS to get there and there was not ONE bike lane to be seen. The constant construction on the lakeshore, and Gardiner were the problem.

I grew up in Toronto and am discouraged to see such a bad state on our roads. People are angry, and are behaving with carelessness and there is a real disregard for human life on our roads each time I set out. Ripping up the bike lanes will only intensify that attitude.
