I'm a driver who often drives around the city. I've seen the improvements in traffic that these bike lanes have caused. Driving across bloor st used to be a parking lot. Now with the added bike lanes, there is always a simple orderly flow of traffic that moves along. I can go from Jane and dundas to bloor and Bathurst in 20 mins. That was unheard of before. Also, since the addition of bikelanes, Kingsway south traffic is a fraction what it used to be. Traffic on Kingsway south used to span all the way down to the petro canada by Queensway. I haven't seen anywhere close to that since the addition of the lanes.
If we really want to reduce congestion, maybe your efforts are better spent focusing on developers who seem to have free reign to block lanes. Bikes aren't the problem and the data shows.
