Bike lanes may be a good…

Bike lanes may be a good thing in the downtown core where most people either walk or take the TTC, but they are a very bad mistake outside of the core, for ex., in the Bloor West Village or in the Kingsway, where all they do is create congestion and lead to interminable queues at traffic lights (leading drivers to wait two or three light changes in order to cross an intersection), and to a much greater amount of fossil fuel exhausts.

The way I see it, if I have to wait 2 or 3 lights to cross an intersection, that is 4-5 minutes more of burning fossil fuels ... not a great thing for the environment!

If we really need bike lanes in Etobicoke, let them run along residential streets where there is no car traffic.

PLEASE, Mr Premier, get the city of Toronto to see the error of its ways and remove this incredible negative impact on the environment and on people's lives. What is good for the downtown core is not necessarily good for the suburbs, or, to put it another way, what works in the downtown core does not necessarily work in the suburbs. We are not all the same...
