Removing the bike lanes from the city of Toronto isn't going to decrease the amount of bike traffic or gridlock in the city, active transportation is here to stay. Removing bike lanes is only going to decrease the safety for cyclists who comprise 30-40% of road traffic on Toronto's downtown thoroughfares. Bike lanes are used by Torontonians of every age group - even young kids with their families. It's also a sustainable mode of transportation in the city helping to reduce air pollution caused by vehicular traffic. I guarantee the removal of bike lanes will result in more cycling accidents and casualties that could be avoided.
