Bike lanes are an integral way to get around downtown, and a city in general, while adding one more vehicle lane has been shown time and time again to lead to induced demand for that new road space, thereby nullifying the benefits of adding that lane in the first place. I personally use the bike lanes on University and Bloor all the time for errands, and would find it unsafe and dangerous to share that space with cars. As such, this bill, if passed, would have a profound effect on my ability to live in Toronto, and would lead me to consider moving out-of-province to somewhere I can feel safe getting around downtown.
