As a resident of Etobicoke Centre I support keeping bike lanes.
Not only is this waste of financial resources to knock them down, this is hurtful to local business and goes against all urban planning an transportation economics research regarding bike lanes and driving.
The cyclist are not going to disappear, they will either become more vehicles creating more congestion (induced demand), make transit more crowded, or just cycle in the vehicle lanes, which will just slow the drivers down or cause more accidents.
To top this traffic has been congested because of construction, how is doing more unnecessary construction supposed to help.
Highway 401 is not congested because of not enough lanes or bikes it is because we aren’t providing alternatives to more land efficient methods of transportation.
If you want to make a difference for the region expand GO, build bypasses, and ensure the federal government actually builds a high speed rail (long overdue).
