I use the woodbine, danforth, bloor and sherbourne lanes on my daily commute to work (University Health Network) and feel more at ease having the lanes. Prior to the installation of lanes I'd have card swearving right and had many near misses getting hit, witnessed many cyclists getting hit so i completely disagree that any lanes should be removed and instead recommend that with careful planning more connections around the city be made to allow for safe cycling. If you build more lanes, more people will feel safe to bike and will leave their cars at home. Other major cities like Paris and NYC are becoming more bike friendly and reducing congestion by having more cyclist on the road so why would Toronto go backwards! There is no science or data to back up this notion that lanes create congestion, larger volume of cars instead create congestion. If cyclists stay in tjeir own lane, dont see how they would be the guilty ones creating congestion. Also if the city focused on adding cycle traffic lights or letting cyclist go when the pedestrian light turns green that would be a better solution to improve the flow of traffic.
