I am strongly against removing the bike lanes because:
(1) I do not agree that bike lanes are the reason of traffic gridlocks
(2) I do not agree that removing bike lanes can solve the gridlocks
(3) I do not agree it is wise to spend millions to remove bike lanes where there are more cost effective ways to solve our traffic. And there are more pressing social issues we should spend these taxpayers' money on.
I travel to work daily from Yonge and Eglinton to Forrest Hill by biking through the bike lane, biking takes me 10 minutes of commute time. If I am taking TTC, it takes me 45 mins with one transit. If I am driving, it takes me 20 minutes as Yonge street always have heavy traffic. I am not the only user of the bike lanes - I travel with multiple bikers daily.
As a driver myself, I don't see how bike lanes causing traffic, but instead, if we remove street parking on major streets like Yonge and Bayview - it will release a lane immediately and causing the city zero dime.
