I am a regular cyclist in Toronto and the bike lanes you are trying to destroy have been crucial for protecting my safety as a citizen of this city. The lanes in question don't slow traffic or cause gridlock - traffic movement times have not been impacted in any major way, and data shows that businesses have seen increases in foot traffic. Getting rid of protected bike lanes in the city will mean one thing: MORE DEAD PEOPLE KILLED BY MOTORIZED VEHICLES. And won't really resolve any of the gridlock issues we are seeing. There is much that could be done better with road construction schedules (and if the province would bother to do this re: their own mega-projects, a lot of the problem regarding gridlock in Toronto would be solved.)
