There will be many comments supporting bike lanes and probably many who don't. When the pandemic came along I applauded this government for listening to the experts and taking action based on facts. Now I see the opposite when it comes to traffic congestion. The facts and studies show the benefits of bike lanes. (I am agnostic, I only follow the evidence). The evidence in this case is quite clear bikes lanes do not cause the congestion, they may in FACT reduce it. So if the black and white evidence is there and you talk about the key facts of moving people not cars, bike lanes are effective and to make them more popular you need and effective connected network, again proven FACT. I would not support any government that doesn't listen to expert analysis of issues and in this case they are ignoring the truth to promote what?, removing bike lanes will not change the fact congestion is caused by too many cars. That is ultimately the issue, but that is a lot harder to solve when no attempt to add fast convenient train service to the suburbs has been attempted. If you have a Transport Minister who has to drive from Brampton downtown because there is no decent public transport option and then blames bike lanes for his delay in Traffic you know the issue isn't bike lanes. Follow fact not agenda.
