Bike lanes, street calming…

Bike lanes, street calming zones and pedestrianized areas are making cities across Ontario safer and better!

Every study has shown that bike lanes REDUCE traffic and reduce vehicle fatalities. Toronto depends on bike lanes to keep our commuters safe as well as the fleet of delivery drivers who use the lanes to deliver faster than a car can.

The only problem with bike lanes is there aren't enough of them and some aren't well protected enough ("painted bicycle gutters"). Bike lanes need to be continuous and connect to places people want to go to. They're cheap to install and maintain since bike's don't destroy the pavement like heavy vehicle traffic does.

Bike lanes mean our street-level transit like busses and street cars don't get stuck in traffic, meaning more people use them because they can rely on them.

Likewise, those who need to drive because they operate a work vehicle like a taxi or a trade won't get stuck in traffic. Taxis and Ubers will get to their fares sooner and trades won't have to deal with rush hour traffic after a long day of work.
