Our family cannot afford to…

Our family cannot afford to live in Toronto and have a car. Biking has become our preferred means of transportation (we still use the TTC as well). Both my wife and I commute to work by bike, and bike lanes are very important for our safety, both when we bike on our own to work, or when we bike with our 3 kids on weekends.

We use the bike lane on the Danforth-Bloor corridor almost everyday. It is a cheap, light, easy, sustainable, fair (everyone in Toronto pays taxes to maintain roads, but big cars - sometimes from outside Toronto - think they are the only ones who should use them...) way of moving around. There is certainly room for everyone to use bikes, ttc etc, whereas there is certainly not enough room for everyone to have a car on these streets...

Finally, we also don't understand why the province should intervene on something that has to do with our city, our neighborhoods, our taxes...

Please don't dismantle our bike lanes
