Kudos to the province for finally recognizing the massive traffic congestion on Toronto's main arterial roadways. It is clearly evident to see how the bike lanes continue to motorist frustration with the reduced lane travel. What once were normal straight roads, are now a pathetic mix of confusing bike lanes, concrete barriers, while others have plastic posts, and even Cafe's, with little to no patrons!
We have excessive signage, no right turns on red lights, despite the fact motorists have been doing just that for decades. We have bike lanes with extremely low bike travel. Yet hundreds thousands of vehicles continue to be restricted in their travel because of these lanes. It's not rocket science to see exactly what is happening on Toronto's main roads. Due to a very vocal Bicycle Lobby, Toronto City Council has been conned into initiating the Vision Zero program which to date exceeds $300M of taxpayers' money. 21 Councillors should not be allowed to make such decisions that create such controversy. A public Referendum should have been called. The fact remains, there are a lot more vehicles using our roads vs bicycles, that represent an extremely low percentage of the travelling public. The City should also ban main street parking during the morning and evening rush hours to increase traffic flow.
It's time to eliminate the frustration, increased travel times for vehicles, and loss of productivity, because of the bike lanes.
