Bike infrastructure has been proven time and time again that they are positive for congestion and a city's overall health. Adding vehicle lanes DO NOT reduce traffic. They are an invitation for more cars to use the road and will eventually fill up again. Induced demand is real.
Doug Ford said himself in 2017 on his own bike ride that riding outside of a bike lane feels dangerous. This new bill will kill more cyclists as drivers seem to be on the trajectory of being more comfortable breaking the law, buying bigger trucks with bad visibility, and having no concern for anyone outside their vehicle.
Toronto is in need, more than ever, of introducing more non-personal vehicle methods of transportation. We need trains, trams, buses, bikes, scooters, and walkable cities. Not more cars. They are the least efficient form of mass transportation.
