Please leave the bike lanes alone in The City of Toronto. This is a municipal matter that has been studied and voted on for the good of the residents of the city, not just a few business owners.
Roads after all are for people, and not cars exclusively. Those that commute to work/school/other are not doing so solely via a private car. Many take other modes of transport including bicycles.
Bike lanes, and by extension bicycles using those designated lanes do not cause gridlock for car traffic - cars cause that traffic. You want another lane for cars? Remove on-street parking. But, as any reasonable person understands, "one more lane" for cars never works to alleviate the problem of gridlock.
More troublesome, is what this bill is trying to sneak in amidst the outrage and over-reporting of the Bike lane distraction. How about one bill per-item?
Also, maybe you wouldn't be in such a rush to ram this bill through if you didn't take such a long break over the summer.
