The province of Ontario…

The province of Ontario should not remove bike lanes in Toronto, as evidence from Bloor Street shows that bike lanes improve both safety and economic activity. Studies reveal that cyclists and pedestrians, who are the primary users of these lanes, tend to spend more over time than drivers. Additionally, the introduction of bike lanes does not harm businesses but instead enhances foot traffic and local spending. Removing them would ignore these benefits and potentially harm the vibrancy of Toronto’s streets, making them less accessible and safe for all.
