Reducing bike lanes in Toronto will be absolutely detrimental for traffic, cyclist safety, and public health overall. We have data to show that bike lanes reduce traffic by reducing the number of cars on the road. Reducing bike lanes will force more people to choose to drive and thus increase traffic. Reducing bike lanes will also make it much more dangerous for cyclists. The inevitable consequence of both of these things is a public health crisis due to decreased physical activity from more individuals being forced to drive, and increased number of cyclist injuries.
