I do not agree with this at all. Bike lanes are key to a healthy city and a healthy population. Biking is a great, healthy way to get around. I bike to work ever day along the Bloor and university bike lanes. I've started doing that because there are safe lanes that make me feel comfortable biking. I've found that biking is such a great addition to my day: it's good exercise, a great way to start the day, better for the environment, it's faster than driving, I've bonded with colleagues who else bike. And since my confidence has grown with biking (due to the safe lanes that have been put in) I've gotten around the city more, engaged with more activities in the city.
Removing bike lanes is dangerous and will not help the congestion in the city!! Reducing the number of cars driving in the core will help reduce congestion and individuals who bike help do that!!!
The construction that would be created by taking out these bike lanes would also create more congestion -- focus your attention on bills that would actually help support this province but taking away safe, reliable means of transportation is just stupid.
Be grateful that many Torontonians are biking around the city, instead of each individual one driving or ubering everywhere, which would guaranteed increase congestion.
