I totally disagree with this…

I totally disagree with this legislation. I use TTC and bike lanes in Toronto. That's because parking is the determining factor. There is no place to park downtown unless you earn in excess of 200,000. So driving your car to work in congestion is only part of the problem. Parking is the bigger problem. So even if no congestion there is no place to park. Next. Stop lights and crosswalks. There are four way pedestrian crossings with traffic stopped in all directions. That causes congestion. Poor timing of lights causes comgestion. Dedicated bus lanes, streetcar tracks (St Clair) and crosstown light rail at points causes congestion. Drivers blocking intersections cause gridlock. Next is the congestion caused by urban sprawl. That will only get worse as people seek affordable housing outside of the core. The congestion this creates won't be solved by removing bike lanes. Next. Major congestion is on the 401 and the DVP And the Gardner expressway where there are no bike lanes. Bike lanes are focused on the city core. Where you have buses and street cars fighting with cars whether you have bike lanes or not. The core should be for streetcars, buses, subways, taxis, Uber/Lifts delivery vehicles AND BIKES EBIKES AND ESCOOTERS. So. It's too late to solve congestion. It was here before bike lanes. Just like public transit expansion (Crosstown and Ontario line and GO expansion are a product of the desire to admit congestion can't be solved so put public transit in place to move people into and out of city cores. And this includes bike lanes. There is a coherent strategy to provide these modes of transit as an alternative to an unsolvable congestion problem. And I haven't even addressed the environmental cost of unsolvable congestion and the benefits of alternative transit. This is not a good idea. It is a bad idea and will negate the good work done by cities that know there transportation needs. They k!ew there would be complaints but there is no other choice. To reverse what they have done would require compensation from the province. It will not be a free political lunch.
