Ripping out existing bike…

Ripping out existing bike lanes is a distraction and waste of money. Cars create congestion, bike lanes do not. More car lanes do not alleviate car congestion, more transit and bike lanes do. Also congestion management policies reduce congestion, like more efficient traffic signalling, and parking management.

Bike infrastructure also makes streets safer for pedestrians, as well as cyclists and drivers.

Also, make transit so efficient that it makes no sense to drive. I happen to be lucky enough for that to be the case with where I live in proximity to a GO station and downtown. Make that the same for everyone. Etobicoke-Lakeshore could use increased investment in all transit, including GO.
