I don't see any evidence…

I don't see any evidence that removing bike lanes helps reduce congestion. If anything, it adds more traffic to that street as well as nearby streets. If you increased number of lanes on Bloor to 2, have you thought about the impact to roads feeding into and out of it? Why not focus on improving quality of public transit infrastructure like adding express trains along bloor or adding more transit connecting to bloor subway?

As a counter point, I live in Mississauga near Mavis and 403 where there are 3 lanes of traffic in each direction, and there's always traffic. Rather than trying to fit more cars onto the streets, how about making our cities more livable and less car dependent? The drive from heartland to Dundas along Mavis on any evening goes at 20 km/h on average based on the distance and the time it takes. These type of trips would be much better served with a subway. If things got built closer together in Mississauga with less space used for roads and parking lots, I'd be riding my bike to get around too. I envy that it's an option in Toronto.

Please stop making me have to drive everywhere.
