Bike lanes are needed in…

Bike lanes are needed in this overcrowded city of Toronto. It saves the life of cyclists and pedestrians, if the bike lanes are removed then cyclists would use the sidewalks and endanger pedestrians. Before the bike lanes was installed many times I was almost hit by speeding cyclists. My friend who is 80 years old was hit by an e-scooter riding on the sidewalk and no one was around to help her after she fell to the ground. In the area where I live many cars use the residential streets to avoid the heavy traffic on the main road that does not have a bike lane, so removing bike lanes would not make a difference.
