This effort to destroy bike lanes which the taxpayers have already paid for is short-sighted. Traffic congestion in Toronto is terrible due to our transit failing to keep up with demand, construction and a multitude of other factors. Bike lanes seem to have no impact at all on traffic. I ride my bike everyday in Toronto and the bike lanes are always full, allowing people to get to their jobs, appointments and other commitments in a healthy, environmentally friendly way. Why is the province hellbent on undoing progress at the expense of people who rely on bike lanes? If you want to improve congestion in Toronto, redirect your energy and focus onto improving transit, finishing the Eglinton LRT and trying to find compelling reasons for people to not drive cars in the city. Like, I don't know, riding a bicycle in a protected bike lane!!! That actually removes a car from the road and legitimately impacts traffic congestion.
I can't wait until Doug Ford is out of office.
