Bike lanes are not causing…

Bike lanes are not causing congestion in the City of Toronto. The massive number of drivers in the city are creating the congestion. Larger roads with more lanes do not solve the problem as they will fill up with cars. The solution is to provide alternative forms of transportation that reduce GHG emissions and allow folks to move more quickly and easily around the city. Other cities in the world have made these changes and have seen the benefits.

Other options for reducing automobile congestion:
1. Improve bike infrastructure
2. Improve mass transit, make it free
3. Fee-for-use on major roads and highways
4. Downtown congestion pricing - as Toronto grows, it's not possible for everyone travelling downtown to drive their car. It's a physical impossibility of space.
5. Close some streets to vehicular traffic

I hope that MPPs will stand up for the hard-won bike lanes and support the growth of bike infrastructure to build a city that is not created for cars, but created for people.
