I do not approve of the removal of bike lanes in Toronto. Having a vehicle and driving within the city is not practical nor is it accessible to many people. Vehicles are expensive and driving within the city is difficult and unpredictable. Bike lanes provide space for people who are using different vehicles such as bikes, scooters and other mobility devices to travel safely within the community. Taking this away would perpetuate the discrimination towards people who do not have access to driving for a variety of reasons (income, disability, access to a garage/parking spot, among many other reasons). This is of course accompanied by the harm done to the environment by taking away access to more sustainable and accessible transit options.
