This is an idiotic proposal…

This is an idiotic proposal on so many levels. It's a gross overreach into municipal jurisdiction. It's clear that the focus is Toronto — coincidentally enough, the lanes between Queen's Park and Etobicoke. I wonder why.

This is far from evidence-based. 'Induced demand' means that in the long run, more space for cars will result in more cars. Bike lanes on secondary streets are not a bad thing, however not always possible (in Toronto, for example, the only continuous east-west connections happen to be major roads eg. King, Queen, Dundas, College, Bloor).

Do you want to hear from people who live in their communities, or just commuters passing by?

Spending at Bloor St businesses has gone up with the installation of bike lanes. Emergency Services have not raised concerns. The "justifications" are clearly constructed and not based in any evidence.

Why not target on-street parking?

This clearly isn't about getting people home quickly and safely.
