I use the bike lanes around Toronto through University and Bloor to get to work and get groceries almost every day.
If the bike lanes were removed, I'd have to either bike on the road and risk getting hit by a car, take public transit, or take a car which would increase traffic. If I had to bike on the road, it would make the experience worse for drivers, and if I had to take a car, it'll be more traffic.
It does not make sense to me to tear down bike lanes that already exist. They're already there. We paid to build them, then we're paying to tear them down again? Even if the lanes were rebuild on side streets, why are we paying to rebuild something that already exists?
This just seems like a waste of tax payer dollars, and doesn't even solve the problem of traffic congestion. Removing the bike lanes would just mean more people would have to drive, and increase traffic congestion. Traffic is a big issue across the city and province, but I this is not the solution.
