I both dive a car and ride a bike.
I have never been stuck in traffic while riding a bike.
Removing bike lanes and limiting the bike lane network expansion is such a flawed approach and will not fix the congestion issues in the GTA.
The provincial government should not be meddling in municipal affairs in this capacity. Especially since it's proposal to remove bike lanes is not based on any data or scientific studies. We need to look at actual research to inform the direction of our infrastructure spending and not make changes based on anecdotes. (See attached study)
We have built up low density suburbs for far too long which have continued to fuel the need to get around by using a car. Now as we are investing more into public transit and bike lanes, people are starting to use other modes of transportation more. We need to focus on expanding bike lanes and creating a comprehensive network instead of limiting them.
Bill 212 is an unacceptable pseudo solution to congestion.
