This is a complete waste of taxpayers money and a major step backwards for the city of Toronto and province of Ontario. Cyclist deserve a safe place to bike. How many cycling deaths before the Ford government cares? Evidently more than 6 given that's how many have died this year alone. Take a look at the corner of Avenue and Bloor, notice all of the ghost bikes within 500m? That is just a short walk from Queens Park, if the sun were low enough the building would cast a shadow on the memorials of fallen cyclists. So many of these death could have been prevented if proper infrastructure had been in place.
Do not touch our bike lanes. We voted for a pro-cycling mayor. Rather than interfering in municipal affairs, focus on the multi-billion dollar transit projects that will seemingly never open (e.g. Eglington LRT). That will actually have a positive impact.
Removing bike lanes will not decrease commuting times in the long run, anyone with a basic understanding of induced demand can see that plain as day. The only way to reduce gridlock is to remove cars (via biking, public transit, etc..). When cyclists don't feel comfortable biking what do you think they'll do? Drive. All that will do is cause more gridlock
Leave are bike lanes alone. We like them.
