It's my hope that the Provincial Parliament will vote this down. Every informed expert agrees that this won't help with "gridlock".

The proven negatives to removing bike lanes:

* Removing bike lanes can lead to more traffic congestion during construction.
* After construction, there may be little to no improvement in travel times.
* Removing bike lanes can make cycling less safe.
* Removing bike lanes is expensive.

The clear positives to keeping bike lanes:

* Bike lanes can help ease congestion.
* Bike lanes can reduce emissions, which helps fight climate change.
* Bike lanes can be good for businesses.
* Bike lanes can make roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

It's not hyperbole to say that lives are at stake as bike lanes are safer for our residents. The Ford government is comfortable risking and taking Torontonian lives just for political point.

In the end, with Doug Ford's Conservative Party, this bill is bald-faced electioneering. The Ford Government is comfortable punishing Toronto and its residents in return for rural and small town votes.

Please reconsider. It's not hyperbole to say that you knowingly endanger people by voting for this bill, and you should be held responsible should someone die due to this choice.
