As a bike commuter that’s witnessed deaths on the streets of Toronto, I beg you not to go through with this plan. The bike lanes are critical to the health of this city and people use them! A lot of people rely on them.

People downtown are sick of suburban drivers dictating policy that impacts us more than them. Why should drivers control our transit infrastructure? If anything Toronto should be investing more in the TTC and other forms of public transit.

Driving is NEVER going to be the transit mode that meets the needs of this city’s growing population. Adding more lanes downtown is futile and backwards. Don’t get rid of the bike lanes. Spend money doing something better, like adding another subway line (on top of the new one - good job on that!)
