As someone who has been…

As someone who has been commuting by bike since I was in elementary school, the proposal to remove cycling infrastructure comes at a great disappointment. With 2024 having the highest cyclist death toll, is now really the time to be proposing to remove infrastructure that keeps cyclists safe? As a new driver, I am also in support of improving bike infrastructure around the city because having cyclists in the same lane as cars feels like it slows down traffic a lot more than having cyclists in their own separate lane. I think that this proposal prioritizes convenience for drivers over the safety and well-being of cyclists and I believe that safer streets and neighbourhoods can only be a net positive for everyone.
