As someone who does not own…

As someone who does not own a car, when I'm not taking public transit I am either walking or using Toronto Bikeshare. Without bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University, I would not be able to get around the city. Bike lanes are essential for our safety and without them, many people will be deterred from bike commuting and leisure biking. Please reconsider taking out these crucial bike lanes. Bloor especially is important to get across the city safely. Focus should be on improving public transportation infrastructure and Bikeshare to reduce traffic. Putting lanes of car traffic in is not a sustainable solution for a more efficient city.
