Dedicated bike lanes are a much needed alternative and need to remain. The data being quoted as evidence against them is inaccurate and as old as I am.
Having lived in every region of Toronto and GTA over the last 35 years, i have commuted in a variety of ways (motorcycle, car, bicycle, TTC) to Toronto. While a vehicle still being my primary means of transportation, it's super obvious that we need other options beyond cars. I can bike at twice the speed of a car in Toronto, and the TTC and frequently did. This was the case before the bike lanes.
There are no feasible alternative bike routes and removing them is at odds with new residential housing that come with no parking that they are near.
Construction companies and delivery trucks blocking 1-2 lanes for a year to offload goods have caused me more grief driving than a cyclist ever has.
Car traffic is not sustainable, and removing bike lanes will do nothing. Everything will still be bumper to bumper.
The uneducated officials at the helm of Ontario need to stop constantly meddling with carefully thought out city planning that know far more about infrastructure
