"Toronto Cyclist Deserve Better!"
The Cyclists of Toronto Demand Safe Passage and Respect!

The Transportation Association of Canada recommends a width of 2,0m for marked bike lanes on major urban roads. The minimum acceptable width is 1,5m. That is the national standard.

On May 19th, City Council voted in favour of a 'reduced width' bike lane on a 1.6 km section of Royal York Road. How it will be marked is not yet decided. A majority of councillors felt that 1,25m was sufficient, and that the "margin of safety" for cyclists was not significantly different between a 1,5m and 1,25m bike lane.

This decision sets a precedent that puts at risk all future proposals for 1,5m bike lanes on major roads, and makes it possible for any local community to demand reduced space for cyclists.

Cyclists deserve better. Cyclists deserve respect. Our lives depend on having safe passage on city roads. We need space to make Toronto a better place to live and breathe.

Therefore, the we request that 1,5m be established as the minimum width for bike lanes on major roads in the City of Toronto.

- A 2,0m bike lane would be better! I am so sick of risking my life every time I need to get from point A to point B on a bike. Smog reduction should not come at this kind of cost.

- Imagine being able to ride from Mississauga border to the border of Pickering in a continuous bike lane...How about from the foot of Yonge Street to Steeles? Imagine streets filled with cyclists, pedestrians, roller bladers...how sexy Torontonians would look! We would be the envy of North American cities.

- After walking, bicycles are the most ecologically sane mode of transportation available. It's time that Toronto politicians recognize this. Compromise between bicycles and car crazed policy makers (regardless of whether they drive a "hybrid" or not) leaves everyone less healthy. Please step up Mr. Mayor and become the visionary leader who we elected.
