Hi there. I'd like to…

Hi there. I'd like to comment on the bike lane suggestions. As both a bike rider, commuter and car driver, I am NOT in favour of removing bike lanes. This is short sighted thinking especially in light of the influx of ebikes and scooters to enable and encourage more people to move around our cities NOT using a car. If we remove these bike lanes, it will become the wild west for the bikes/scooters. Additionally, if we opened up more lanes for cars, in two years those lanes will be full of cars and we will be back to where we are now...we need a long term, durable solution and that includes bike lanes. Bike lanes are essential for creating a safe, accessible, and sustainable city. They protect cyclists from traffic, encourage more people to choose eco-friendly transportation, and help reduce traffic congestion and emissions. With dedicated bike lanes, cities become more inclusive and healthier spaces for everyone, promoting active lifestyles and reducing pollution. Investing in bike lanes is an investment in our community’s safety, health, and future.
