Robust evidence from cities around the world and the city of Toronto’s own data shows that these bike lanes do not legations impact automobile traffic - in fact these bike lanes actually reduce congestion (and air pollution) by replacing thousands of daily car trips. At the same time, removing the bike lanes will make the street more dangerous for everyone - including people in cars. Again, the data are clear: as the number of cyclists goes down, the risk of serious iniury and death goes up. This change will not reduce congestion, but it will cause more preventable injuries and deaths on Toronto streets.
