Comment
I strongly disagree with this policy. Research shows that bike lanes calm traffic, making roads safer for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. Additionally, having more people on bikes means fewer people on the roads in cars, reducing the biggest contributor to traffic.
Finally, businesses in the area (through a BIA https://www.torontotoday.ca/local/politics-government/bia-warns-removal… ) have commented on the importance of bike lanes to the local community.
Additionally, many food delivery services are provided via people on bikes. Having this group transition to cars would only increase traffics in surrounding business areas
