It is abundantly that the political establishment in this province has no concept of “induced demand”, which shows over and over that if more traffic lanes are added they will fill up, thus doing nothing to solve congestion. Specifically on the topic of bike lanes, the government’s view is so insular that they aren’t acknowledging the dozens of world-class cities around the world (e.g., Paris, London, Montreal) that have *increased* bike lanes in the last decade with a subsequent increase in bike lane usage. So while the government likes to cite that 1% of Torontonians bike, they’re completely ignoring the exponential growth in BikeShare over the last few years. What a coincidence that that coincides with the implementation of bike lanes! This is a regressive policy decision that will lead to cyclists being injured or dying. Congratulations, Ford government, I hope you’re happy moving backward.
