Removing bike lanes in Toronto will not fix grid lock. It will only make it worse. People from the suburbs have said they would be more likely to drive in Toronto if bike lanes are removed. Drivers create gridlock, not cyclists. This is common sense. If anything this decision will make traffic worse.
Biking is an efficient way to get around. Each person on a bike is one less person in a car, taking up a fraction of the space. Cycling reduces congestion. Removing these bike lanes will only make gridlock worse and endanger cyclists - why are drivers being prioritized? Cycling should not be treated simply as expendable, most have important places to go just like drivers.
Discouraging people from cycling will make traffic worse and make the pollution in this city worse. This is a short-sighted decision, and a waste of time and money. Doug Ford has done a lot of the stupidest things in the history of this province in his time and this is another on a long list of idiotic moves that will only make the city a worse place to live.
Any driver who doesn’t want to share the road is probably incompetent at driving and being aware of their surroundings and should have their license revoked.
