Safe cycling infrastructure…

Safe cycling infrastructure is so important to all Torontonians. So many of the people I talk to in my life will only cycle on Toronto's streets that have designated bike lanes, because it's often just too dangerous to bike among the cars. 6 cyclists have died this year from accidents with vehicles, not too mention the many more non-fatal accidents that rarely get reported on, how many more lives before the safety of cyclists AND pedestrians is taken seriously? Not only from studies right here in Toronto, but also with all the stats from other cities worldwide it's clear to see that building and extending safe cycling infrastructure is a healthier and cost efficient option for people to travel around our city. And it also helps us towards achieving climate goals, as it's a whole lot better for the environment as well. If you take away our bike lanes and stop future bike lanes from being built, then expect cyclists to start being more aggressive on Toronto's roads, taking up more of the vehicle lanes and slowing traffic. Stop Bill 212 and Ford from taking away our current bike lanes.
