Toronto in 2016 was 87th in the world in traffic congestion. Recently it was determined to be 3rd. Clearly removing lanes of traffic for bike lanes is not working. Removing lanes of traffic to alleviate traffic congestion is illogical.

I applaud the Government of Ontario for stepping in on this matter and bringing some basic logic back into the conversation and decision-making process.

The City of Toronto is not listening to the majority who oppose these bike lanes. In Bloor West/Kingsway area alone, the opposition includes the adjacent City Councillor, Stephen Holyday, the Federal MP, Yvan Baker, 99% of The Kingsway BIA (the area businesses), and something approaching 95% of local Etobicoke residents.

Thank you Government of Ontario for listening and stepping in.
