If gridlock in downtown…

If gridlock in downtown streets is a concern for drivers, they should use alternative modes of transportation like GO Transit, trams and bicycles. As more people live in the downtown core of our cities, people need to get around their communities. Those who live and work in bike accessible neighbourhoods want to be able to safely use their streets. Bicycles can be used by all age groups and by people of all physical abilities to get to work, school and shopping. Cars downtown are for people who can afford a car and have the means to arrive to the city from the suburbs however they choose. Bike lanes are for the masses of people who are commuting within the region. University Avenue is a prime example of where bike lanes are necessary for people who live and work downtown. Bloor is a neighbourhood street with communities all along itz not a race track.
The province is responsible for the 400 highways, the GO transit, and whatever Metrolinx is. They don't need to tell my town how to install street infrastructure, they need to encourage alternative transit modes.
