I support the immediate implementation of a connected separated bicycle lane infrastructure with pilot projects beginning in 2011. This single step can greatly enhance the safety and efficiency of Toronto streets at a very low cost.

I support the proposed plan for lanes to be installed along Sherbourne, Wellesley/Harbord, St George/Beverley/John/Simcoe, and Richmond to provide a completed circuit around the downtown core.

Separated bicycle lanes have been proven to be a low cost way to improve roadway efficiency for all street users. They will protect thousands of Toronto cyclists from collision with automobiles and while also further protecting pedestrians by creating a safe barrier between automobiles and the sometimes tight sidewalk spaces. Separated lanes reduce the perceived need for cyclists to ride on sidewalks out of self-preservation. More Torontonians will feel safe cycling, adding to the cities transit infrastructure capacity with minimal capital investments.

    • Bike lane addition to short stretch of Gerrard b/w River and Parliament would significantly reduce the danger posed by eager drivers trying to squeeze between streetcar and cyclist - was in just such an accident last fall (as the cyclist) - infuriating. I drive into the core during winter months because the snow on that stretch makes it too dangerous to cycle.

    • I would bike even more than I do if I felt safer on Toronto's roads! More separate bike lanes in the downtown core would certainly do the trick!

    • Toronto should take the lead in providing safe environments for both cyclists and motorists in Canada. It is a win-win situation for all. Reduced number of accidents, less cars and greenhouse gases on the road, more physically fit Canadians with reduced usage of our healthcare system, and a better reputation around the world!
