I am, variously, a pedestrian, cyclist, TTC user, and driver in Toronto. I wholeheartedly support bike lanes in all of those capacities. When I’m on my bike, the bike lanes obviously make my trip easier and safer. As both a pedestrian and driver, the bike lanes also make my trips easier and safer by segregating the cyclists from other traffic and creating predictability for everyone as to where the cyclists will be. The bike lanes make my travel easier, safer, and more efficient by whatever means I’m travelling.

Removing existing bike lanes will make travel less safe, less easy, less efficient - and less safe for everyone. Doing so will also be an absurd way to spend tax dollars, wasting the money already invested in creating the lanes and the money it will cost to remove them.

I am strongly opposed to removing any bike lanes and strongly oppose tax dollars being used this way.
