I am appalled about this…

I am appalled about this proposal to remove bike lanes in the City of Toronto, and for the increasing red tape this proposal would put on the development of new bike lanes in the city. As homeowners in this increasingly expensive city, my family benefits immensely from all the modes of transportation available to us. We drive a car when necessary, use the TTC on a daily basis, and make use of the bike lanes very regularly. I travel the city often with my 9 yr old by bike, and to think of doing so without dedicated bike lanes would be absolutely irresponsible and dangerous for us.

We all know the statistics and the incredible amount of accidents bikers face when riding on streets without dedicated bike lanes. Risking our lifes, especially my daughters bikes just to decrease commute times for car drivers by mere minutes is an abhorrent option.

This is an incredibly important issue for me and my family. If Doug Ford continues with this type of actions that destroy my city's public infrastructure to benefit the privileged few, he and his conservative team are guaranteed to loose my votes.
