I do not support this bill…

I do not support this bill for two key reasons.

1) I use the Bloor cycle lanes daily, to ride to and from work and to commute with my young children. This bike lane saves lives and reduces stress for both cyclists and drivers due to separating the two groups of people. I would not feel comfortable riding in the lane with my child if the lane is removed, and that is deeply unfair, as cars have access to their own lane. If the lane is removed, I will go back to taking the full lane as I ride which will impede cars regardless. This will also frustrate drivers and puts me at risk.

2) I do not agree with the changes to expropriation rules in creating highways. We need more transit, more bike lanes, more connections, not more cars on roads.
