The experts on this topic overwhelmingly have found in their studies that bike lanes reduce traffic on streets they are implemented simply by taking cars off the road. Every bike, which is 1/10th the size of a car on the bike lane is one less car off the road. Gridlock is not solved by "adding one more lane" this is evident on the 401, gridlock is solved by providing people with alternative and more efficient transportation means along the same corridor!
Additionally, bike lanes have been shown to drive business for local businesses which is critical during our current economic climate. Not to mention, biking is way more environmentally friendly than cars and will help us fight climate change.
