I don't support this Bill as I believe this change will be detrimental to traffic, increasing likelihood of accidents involving cyclists and vehicles and/ or pedestrians as, A) there could be confusion on the roads and sidewalks from cyclists having to ride alongside and against traffic flow on the street, causing collisions. B) In the winter months, where there is an increased likelihood of accidents on the road due to snow and ice, cyclists would be more at risk of accidents involving cars if there are no designated bike lanes. C) The removal of bike lanes will cause more traffic rather than less traffic as cars AND bikes will have to share the same lane, and drivers will need to adhere to traffic laws involving cyclists. In addition, the removal of bike lanes may deter people from choosing cycling as a way to get around the city.
