As a driver, I don't want bikes in my lane—it is less safe for me and for them. Bikes slow me down, increasing congestion for cars behind me. Having them moved to separate bike lanes speeds up my commute by getting bikes out of my way. Further, by having more people use bikes, they are less likely to drive, further reducing congestion on the street.

Increasing the number of lanes for cars will not decrease congestion for long -- research has long proven that. Increasing bike lanes will increase the usage of bikes and therefore reduce the number of cars on the road. I've attached studies on these points.

My drive into downtown Toronto would be made far better by keeping these bike lanes and expanding the network, so more people use them and drive less. The changes proposed by this bill are a waste of money, and time. The province should be focused on provincial matters, not municipal issues.
