Removing bicycle lanes will not reduce congestion in Toronto. By giving more citizen incentive to drive, more citizen will choose to drive and increase congestion two fold.
I've cycled in this city for over 25 years as a commuter 8km each way, East West directions. Toronto is relatively flat parallel to the lake, we should take advantage of this geography to help citizen choose alternatives to the automobile.
In addition public transit is not reliable enough to be consistent on a weekly basis. I've chosen to commute by bicycle, economical with health benefits.
I am also an all season cyclist, bicycle right of way lanes have made this possible. Citizens who choose to cycle as a means of transportation will continue to do so.
Removing the bicycle lanes will be a mistake. Exactly the same legacy mistake provincial government did selling the 407 ETR by the Mike Harris government. Provincial leadership must not repeat past mistakes and must listen to the experts in this field.
