my thoroughfare to/from home…

my thoroughfare to/from home is Yonge Street between Davisville and Bloor.
before the bike lane were installed a few years ago, I had too many years biking up and down Yonge taking my life into constant threat… either from condo construction thwarting traffic movements, from careless drivers turning while distracted on their phones, and cars speeding on the steep hill as if it was a highway.
IF the dedicated bike lanes are removed off Yonge, I will be forced at this point to ride down the entire right lane so as not to risk my life against the curb… this will indeed congest traffic.
the actual problem regarding traffic congestion on Yonge (besides condo construction sites) is that too many people are driving downtown when they should be taking transit, many driving solo with no passengers… the government needs to concentrate on restricting downtown traffic before it gets worse, rather than penalizing bicyclists who are doing something beneficial, and rather than risking their lives.
I pay my taxes to this government and I have a right to safety on my city’s streets.
