Toronto has a population of almost 3 million people. Given the space restrictions of an urban environment it does not matter how much roads are expanded there will always be traffic because cars are big and take up a massive amount of space on the road, often for just a single person to travel. The only real solution to traffic is to provide alternative means of transportation like better busses, more frequent and reliable subways and SAFE easy to navigate bike lanes. Removing the bike lanes will have a negligible to negative effect on traffic and remove the forward progress towards a sustainable and reliable urban future that everyone in Toronto needs. This also says nothing about the elitist nature of prioritizing cars over bikes. Many people cannot afford a car and rely on bicycles and public transit to commute. Removing bike lanes directly endangers them for very little benefit. Please do not pass this bill, save our bike lanes, save our city.
