I have moved back into the City of Toronto, where I grew up and lived most of my life and for the first time since leaving, I am now a car owner and driver. I regularly drive on Bloor st. and other roads which have had both painted and protected bike lanes installed in recent years. I can say, without doubt, that the bike infrastructure being developed around the City of Toronto is a critical component in decreasing traffic and congestion on Toronto streets by offering safe and reliable alternatives to driving. Now that I have the luxury of a car at my disposal, I almost exclusively use Toronto bike lanes and public transit when making trips within the borders of the city.

Any decrease in the connectivity and viability of cycling infrastructure is unacceptable and removal of already installed cycling infrastructure is idiotic in the extreme.
