Your proposal to remove municipal bike lanes is counterproductive to reducing gridlock. Science shows that the more lanes you build, the more cars go on the road. The gridlock might temporarily be reduced, but will go right back up to what it is now. If toronto is going to be a world class city, we need to invest those millions that would be WASTED by removing existing bike lanes into supporting the TTC and improving public transit, so that citizens can get places more quickly and safely using public transit. Has Doug Ford ever taken the UP Express? Imagine that quality of public transit everywhere in the city. Gone would be the grimy state of most Line 2 stations. They would be clean and loved. The sign of a healthy city is one where the rich take public transit. I’m a cyclist and have commuted year round. The bike lanes have enabled me to save so much money and stay fit in the process. If these are removed, my daily commute will become more dangerous. But I believe Doug Ford doesn’t really care about some of the people he represents. I believe that he doesn’t care about cyclists. Prove me wrong Doug.
