This bill does nothing for…

This bill does nothing for the environment and overrides the independence of the city government. Some of these bike lanes have been in place for almost 10 years. How are they suddenly a traffic concern? I have been a bike rider for over 20 years in Toronto. I did not feel safe without the bike lanes and we now have enough downtown that I can get around safely in a protected lane. Some parts of Bloor Street with these bike lanes never had more than 2 lanes of traffic. It was parking on both sides and 2 lanes of traffic. The City studied these routes before installing the bike lanes. At the very least, do another study with the city to see what effects ripping them out will have.
