Hi there, I really value the safety, affordability and health benefits of bike lanes in Toronto. For safety, the bike lanes on Bloor, Bay and University (and many others) have provided me a dedicated path that is usually high traffic. For affordability, having bike lanes has allowed me to bike to work consistently throughout the year rain or shine which has reduced my transportation costs in an very expensive city. For health, with my hectic work schedule, demands of raising a family, biking to and from work or on errands is my main form of exercise. The distance is too long to walk each time, as such not having access to good bike lanes for everyday use that have a direct route to work and shopping is key to building exercise into my daily routine.

My ask would be to improve snow removal on the bike lanes so I (and the many other people who live in Toronto) can bike all year around. I am not supportive of removing the bike lanes.
