Has the city/province considered other reasons why gridlock occurs? Could we please take a look at how appalling the TTC has become to use? There are constant detours and delays, it is unreliable and slow. If more people were on bikes and/or the TTC, gridlock would be reduced. If parking rules were enforced and drivers did not feel they could simply stop and occupy a lane with hazard lights on (which happens regularly downtown on main arteries, for Uber drop offs and lazy arrogant people picking up food or people) then gridlock would be reduced. Promote GO transit, promote carpooling, and definitely, absolutely, install safe, clear and continuous bike lanes to encourage people to ride instead of drive. People want to ride their bikes but don’t feel safe, I am one of them! Drivers in Toronto have become aggressive, reckless and do not obey the rules of the road. Vulnerable road users including pedestrians, are not comfortable navigating the downtown. Enforce safe driving! Ticket drivers for speeding, reckless driving, failure to stop, failure to signal. Bad drivers are the problem. Do not further encourage this behaviour by inflating the egos of drivers who feel they are entitled to do whatever they want. Listen to the people of Toronto, do not make this a place for commuters to abuse. Living downtown has become untenable, drivers are wreaking havoc and leaving downtown residents feeling anxious, attacked and unsafe. Do not pursue this bill.
