The idea that recovering a lane on Yonge, Bloor and University is going to improve gridlock is quite frankly laughable. Traffic flow AND public transit infrastructure and active transportation infrastructure needs will just increase with immigration. The amount of construction, and the presence of trucks on downtown roads has to be factored in as well — what are we doing about that? Thousands of people who bike on those lanes every day (including many who have to make a living riding a bike or mobility device on delivery services) will be pushed into competing with cars on the roads resulting in higher numbers of injury and accidental death. We already have enough cyclists injured and killed every year by drivers of cars. This law is irresponsible and will NOT achieve Mr. Ford’s objectives.
