This is a ridiculous…

This is a ridiculous proposal which solves nothing and costs a vast sum of taxpayers' money. Converting bike lanes to regular traffic lanes won't solve any traffic congestion. Hundreds of cities worldwide have already proven that increasing the number of lanes shall not reduce commute time. The problem is never due to not enough traffic lanes, but TOO MANY CARS, especially in Toronto. This expensive proposal will waste our hard-earned money for NOTHING, mark my word. Furthermore, reducing bike lanes will consequently reduce the number of bikers as well, causing more people to drive a car instead of riding a bike, which further increases the number of vehicles on the road, which further worsens traffic. As a result, it will only make traffic worse instead of improving it due to the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, you may also mark my word for that. We do not understand the purpose of this proposal. Last but not least, converting lanes takes time in terms of years. Thus we can foresee that in the next few years, traffic downtown will be hell for any commuter due to: 1. more vehicles on the road and fewer bikers; 2. construction sites occupying space. Therefore, what is the point? As proven by many countries worldwide such as the Netherlands and Japan, there is only one true solution to traffic - REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. Yet this proposal suggests the opposite. Fix TTC, build more efficient subways, and incentify drivers to take alternative transportation such as bikes and public transit, then we will truly be free from traffic congestion. I hope this comment will find you well, and I hope that our provincial government will listen to us. Please don't force your wrong perspective of traffic on us Torontonians. Much appreciated.
