Comment
As a lifelong Ontario resident, I strongly oppose any policies to eliminate existing bike lanes or limit the creation of new bike lanes. Evidence demonstrates that the availability of bike lanes as an alternative to driving substantially reduces congestion since bikes are smaller and more mobile than cars. Conversely, adding 1 extra car lane has little to no observable effect on traffic on already-busy roads in downtown areas. The marginal benefit of additional car lanes is negligible in the downtown car, and would only incentivize more driving. Please do not approve this proposal and thank you for your consideration.
