Do Not Remove Bike Lanes! New York City - a city with far worse traffic problems than Toronto - invested in 550 KM of bike lanes between 2014 and 2019. A recent study on injury prevention in New York City found that "...bicycle lanes come with an exceptionally good value because they simultaneously address multiple public health problems. Investments in bike lanes are more cost-effective than the majority of preventive approaches used today."

The benefits of bike lanes to any city, including Toronto, are well known and well documented. Removing bike lanes is damaging and expensive. The $48 Million it will cost to remove bike lanes should be spent on the Province's shameful and inadequate health care system, its understaffed schools, or it's inadequate public transit system. Doug Ford - on your watch the promised LRT is hopelessly behind. Rather than destroying things that work, finish the jobs you have already started that still don't work!
