This proposal will not…

This proposal will not reduce gridlock. It will make the roads less safe for bikers, forcing more people to take cars everywhere due to the complete lack of viable transit options in the city of Toronto, thus introducing more gridlock in the city.

The correct way to reduce gridlock is not to limit travel options (especially carbon emission conscious travel options) for people. You must consider that the sheer number of cars on the road is what is causing gridlock. How can we reduce the number of required cars for people to be able to get where they need to go? Provide other travel options that are not cars. Improve transit. Make it easy for people to bike, carpool, or take a train instead of driving.

You can improve the flow of traffic without reducing the number of bike lanes in Toronto and this proposal is very far off base from what the residents of the city want.
