The Government of Ontario is wrong - on so many counts. It is NOT bikes or bike lanes that cause gridlock --there are SO MANY investigations, research papers, surveys, and studies from North America and around the world that show that good biking infrastructure - including replacing traffic lanes with bike lanes - actually improve/reduce gridlock. PLEASE do some research and do not make gridlock worse!
The 401 is the wideset highway in North America and it is constantly stopped. Adding more highways has never reduced gridlock - so why add more lanes or highways instead of focusing on solutions that have been proven to work over and over -> give people alternatives with reliable/frequent public transit as well as active transportation infrastructure.
I highly recommend that if the Ford government wants to improve things -- review information from Strong Towns.
