As a driver and someone who…

As a driver and someone who lives in Toronto (what used to be referred to as “Old Toronto”), I like the bike lanes. I prefer the separation between me as a driver and the cyclists. It feels safer for us all and I’m sure reduces cycling accidents. As a driver I would not be able to forgive myself if I inadvertently/accidentally hit and injured someone.
In addition, the cost it would be to remove bike lanes could go into improving transit in all regions of Toronto and surrounding areas (GTA) so that people would feel more comfortable using public transit and give up driving into/around the city.
I also would be interested in having tolls for those coming into the city, if this plus better/improved transit it would reduce the traffic in the city proper and thus there would be no need to remove bike lanes.
Thank you for your consideration of these suggestions.
