Now confirming that the top 3 most used bike lanes on Yonge, Bloor, and University are planning to be removed, I urge the government to use common sense and re-think this harmful bill. Many studies have shown how bike lanes are not increasing gridlock. The fire department confirmed response times haven’t increased, the hospital chiefs demonstrated the usefulness of the bike lanes in front of Hospital row, the Bloor Annex businesses have demonstrated how well these lanes help improve businesses.
The data is clear. Removing these bike lanes will only hurt businesses and endanger lives, without having any improvement on traffic. Are we trying to move people or just cars? How many people are you willing to kill in order to feel good about saving a dubious minute in a car? Removing on street parking for bike lanes instead would help traffic flow much better than the current state.
I hope common sense prevails and we do not waste our tax dollars endangering lives and hurting businesses.
