Bike lanes are essential for reducing traffic congestion, especially in densely populated cities like Toronto. Adding more car lanes may seem like a solution to gridlock, but it actually encourages more driving, worsening traffic and pollution over time. Accidents are one of the most likely causes of death for all people and the highest for young people. This legislature will only worsen that.

Bike lanes offer an alternative, sustainable mode of transport that can help alleviate car dependency, free up road space, and promote healthier lifestyles. They are not just about making room for cyclists but also about creating a more efficient, multi-modal transportation system. Prioritizing bike lanes means reducing the number of cars on the road, ultimately leading to less traffic and a more livable city for everyone.
