I strongly oppose to remove bike lanes.

1. The budget amount isn’t small, and could’ve been better spent on upgrading public transportation infrastructures.

2. As an occassional driver, bike lanes makes me feel safer to drive on roads since bikes are guaranteed to be on a separate lane. I don’t wanna mess with bikes and get myself into accidents.

3. These roads, especially Yonge and Bloor Streets, are important but not major roads. These segments are also well covered by subways. There are many alternatives available in downtown area, deprioritizing cars along these segments doesn’t bring much negative impacts.

4. On the contrary giving back one lane each for cars will cause induced traffic, causing more gridlocks.

I don’t see a great value or a great reason to removing those bike lanes. Please don’t waste our money into this work!
