This bill goes against all…

This bill goes against all modern advancements the city of Toronto has made. The use of bike lanes has been proven to reduce emissions, reduce car congestion, increase people's health through an active life style, make for safer streets through less deadly collisions, and more.

Moving away from these bike lanes is the wrong thing to do. It is a backwards move to generate more car friendly infrastructure. We should not create a higher incentive for people to bring personal vehicles into the most densely populated areas of a city. It should be a place for business and people, not cars.

If anything wants to be changed, it has to be done through actual data driven decision. This bill specifically targets some bike lanes without any in-depth analysis of the issue.

This bill shows a complete lack of understanding of the people's need when travelling around the city of Toronto. Bike lanes are a net positive for any city, regardless of the population.

I urge you to review this decision and take inspiration from European cities instead of American cities when doing urban planning.
