The need for approval for bike lanes, and even more specifically the removal of them on major streets in Toronto is extremely detrimental. Bike lanes provide safetly for a large amount of our population which is not dependent on cars (ESPECIALLY in Toronto.) Focusing on "motor vehicles" and "highways" is also not a sustainable or smart decision in the long run- investment in green options (such as bike lanes) or more public transportation infrastructure is better environmentally and is able to help more citizens at once. Reducing traffic in busy streets by switching to a heavier focus on public transportation is also safer, rather than trying to jam in as many cars onto streets frequently used by pedestrians and bikers.
