I have been a cyclist in this city before all the at risk bike lanes where in place and I have first hand experience in how dangerous it is to cycle anywhere in the city that doesn't have a bike lane. The bike lanes have made it so I am able to safely get around the city without driving, to the benefit of the environment, my health and the traffic. I often don't bike if the road doesn't have a bike lane, so to rip them out would just put more people like me back in my car or on the TTC, adding to traffic congestion-the opposite of what you are intended to do. I am also a driver and appreciate driving on roads that have bike lanes because it safer for driving. NOT TO MENTION this proposed bill will statistically KILL more people, AND PUTS MY LIFE AT RISK. Bike deaths are far too common and the bill will result in the death of cyclist and harm to drivers. This bill needs to be reconsidered deeply.
