Dear Mr. Ford, As a driver,…

Dear Mr. Ford,

As a driver, not a cyclist, on busy Toronto streets, I strongly support bike lanes, and just as strongly oppose this new attempt by the Province to limit or remove them. My experience with them is that they do not increase my travel time. Instead, I know where to expect bicycles on busy roadways, and don’t have to constantly watch for them directly in my path. I also want to know that my daughter and son can ride safely, as they travel to and from work along Bloor St.

What if it was your daughter that was not returning home because you removed a bike lane? What would you say to the driver who didn’t see her? Six dead cyclists in Toronto already this year is six too many.

The provincial government should not go forward with this backward step for safety.
