Toronto has some of the worst traffic congestion in North America. The solution is not to encourage more cars. The answer is providing another means of transit - in this case bikes. City planners, by their nature, should be concerned with creating an environment, where automobile congestion in the future will be reduced. Sometimes city planners must be patient. It takes time for citizens to move to a new life style. The bike lanes in downtown Toronto are well used and it has taken time for that to happen. The same patient attitude should be exercised here.
