As a resident of Toronto, I firmly support bike lanes, even when they require removal of a traffic lane. Data shows that bike lanes reduce gridlock, not cause them. Bike lanes are good for business, good for the environment, good for public and personal health, offer freedom and mobility, and save lives. If you were series about reducing gridlock, you would be support ways of reducing the need to use cars for the people of Ontario. The only way to reduce traffic is to reduce the number of cars on the road. Removing bike lanes will increase the number of cars on the road. You are overreaching and meddling in municipal affairs. Cyclists and pedestrians will die because of what you are doing. Leave bike lanes alone.
