There is strong evidence suggesting that bike lanes actually reduce traffic (research summarized in the article attached). Not only do bike lanes reduce traffic, they also keep cyclists safe. Doug Ford actually went for a bike ride and agreed that he felt unsafe when riding on a road without a bike lane.

The proposal is not backed by evidence. Instead it seems like a short sighted decision made by those who don’t want to hear about data and instead want to pander to those with a poor understanding of civil engineering.

I strongly oppose this proposal.
