We commute every week day on the University and Bloor bike lanes in the core, with our young children in tow. The protected lanes on both these arterial roads have been life-saving for us and many other cyclists that we ride with each day. In a year with record-high cyclists deaths, Ford’s proposal to remove these bike lanes while stirring up anti-cycling sentiment among drivers is counter to citizen safety, counter to efforts to combat climate change, and an enormous waste of taxpayer money. Piles of credible research states that bike lanes actually reduce congestion. And no one can argue against their ability to protect vulnerable road users. I urge all decision makers involved to fight against this ignorant and dangerous bill.
