Let Toronto make their own…

Let Toronto make their own decisions about bike lanes. The city cannot function if we all have cars it doesn’t work. We need transit and bikes to work like other large cities in Europe.

Boston, New York and LA have proven that more lanes do not equate to less traffic. Robert Moses who created all the highways in new York, kept on adding more highways to ease congestion, and it never works it invites more cars. You learn this in civic planning class 101 it’s such basic facts it is so crazy the government thinks this.

We need alternative transport for a densely populated city.

Suggesting that getting rid of bike lanes to help drivers is so poorly researched and is based on just assumption. Human behaviour is more complicated.

More lanes more traffic, it’s been proven over and over

I drive on Bloor to get to work, and I have not experienced any negative effect from the reduction of lanes. Some dumb driver was always stopped on the second land anyways causing more gridlock and aggressive drivers, plus sharing the road with those bikes and Uber delivery? No thanks

Toronto isn’t designed for people to come out of town and be able to drive around and go home it’s not designed for you. People who live here get it. People drive down in their huge oversized cars and expect the parking to be available and easy, it’s not designed for you it’s designed for the millions of people here.

Bike lanes need time to establish a culture of bikers. If we have safe lanes over a generation people will choose it over expensive and slow moving cars.

Thanks I hope this helps in some way. Very frustrated to see such poorly researched plans
