After living in the city for more than 50 years, I was so happy to see a central system (Yonge, Bloor and University) of bike lanes that made travel by bike much safer. The bike lanes have cut my husband’s travel time to work in half because he now bikes to work regularly. My kids, who are in their 20’s, also use the bike lanes regularly. The bike lanes slow the traffic speed, which in turn makes travel for pedestrians and bikers more safe.
There is no real good reason why traffic has to move quickly through these areas. Drivers should expect to take more time to drive in the centre of the city.
Toronto city councillors were elected by people who live in the city. It certainly makes the most sense to let these same councillors decide what is best for the people that live in it.
Traffic congestion can be improved if the province could get the Eglinton light rail working!
