As a frequent user of the Bike Lanes on Bloor, I would be very inconvenienced by their removal. As an artist, my income is disproportional to the contributions artists like me make to the multi billion dollar tourism industry. I neither own a car, nor a house. My bike is not for “leisure” solely, it is my primary means of transportation.
Removing infrastructure for an environmentally friendly mode of transportation in favour of a polluting one such as the private car is the sort of backward thinking we cannot afford at this stage of the climate emergency. Rather than removing them, I’d like to see them enhanced with trees planted to protect cyclist from motor traffic. I’d like the bike lanes to be reserved for the exclusive use of non-motorized vehicles.
Thank you!
