I support this bill…

I support this bill wholeheartedly, in particular, removing the bicycle lanes on Bloor Street, near where I live. I have rarely seen any cyclists using the lanes on Bloor Street. There is simply no demand or need for them--and this during the warmer months. There will be even fewer cyclists on them during winter.

The lanes are an eyesore and ruin the appearance of Bloor Street.

They impede access for emergency services--given the congestion on them, and the centre median on the street, emergency vehicles would be delayed reaching their destination. They could not pass, and would be stuck like everyone else.

If the aim is to encourage cycling to reduce car pollution, the opposite is happening. Because of the traffic congestion, cars are idling and causing far more pollution than if they could move freely without stopping and idling.

The cost of leaving them is far greater than of removing them.

So please remove the lanes as soon as possible. Thank you.
