Bike lanes aren’t causing gridlock— it’s the lack of funding for public transit, especially for the TTC and GO busses/trains, causing more vehicles to be on the road. Bike lanes ensure the safety of commuters and cyclists that rely on them. In 2024, six cyclists have died on Toronto’s roads due to motorists (not including the number of non-fatal accidents), and will only increase if we keep defunding public transit and remove the one thing that keeps cyclists safe. We should be encouraging the public to take greener forms of commuting, and promote exercise. Doug Ford has also failed to provide any evidence that this will even ease traffic congestion, and instead will waste tax dollars by ignoring the needs of the people who actually live in the city and overreaching into municipal jurisdiction.
