I support the removal of existing bike lanes on Bloor Street West & elsewhere where they lead to traffic congestion and for other reasons too.
The city should do a cost benefit analysis of building and maintaining bike lanes. The city should have to present fact based evidence on how many people use bike lanes & whether the cost is justified.
Toronto facing a $1.5 billion deficit still voted to extend the bike lanes on Bloor Street West without a cost benefit analysis to provide evidence to justify this expenditure.
The bike lobby has the ear of city council & city council does their bidding while ignoring the will of the majority of residents who are property owners & tax payers who drive cars. There are over 1.3 million car owners registered in Toronto whose taxes actually pay for these bike lanes & city council consistently ignores their wishes. The majority of taxpayers see bike lanes as a waste of money catering to a small elite of privileged entitled activists and their supporters in the media and throughout city hall.
Money wasted on bike lanes which are empty most of the year especially in winter and on bad weather days could be better spent on Toronto food banks, housing, public transit & healthcare. Every body needs to eat but nobody needs to ride a bike. Those who don’t drive could take the TTC that’s what it’s there for.
