I strongly oppose the provincial government’s proposal to remove sections of the bike lanes along Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue to convert them back into motor vehicle lanes. This plan, presented as a way to “get drivers where they need to go faster,” reflects a narrow view of urban transportation that disregards the needs of all Torontonians.

A truly effective transportation policy must consider everyone—not just drivers. Toronto is a city where residents depend on a balance of public transit, cycling, and walking, alongside driving. Removing bike lanes not only undermines this balance but also makes travel less safe, sustainable, and accessible for all. This proposal sacrifices long-term urban livability for a short-term boost to car traffic flow, which is ultimately detrimental to our city’s growth and well-being.
