I do not support this framework.
I drive everyday, I would love to rely on other modes of transportation, such as biking. I would bike more if there was more infrastructure surrounding biking, and I would feel much safer having access to bike lanes.
Downtown Toronto is very dense; by keeping the existing bike lanes and introducing new ones, it will encourage people to bike more, thus reducing gridlock. I believe Cities should have full authority making any decisions regarding bike lanes, as they have the data to make educated decisions.
Stripping away existing bike lanes on Yonge, bikers will instead bike on the road, posing greater danger to the public (for both bikers and drivers). The money and time proposed to be spent on removing the existing bike lanes should be used to support additional bike lanes and other aspects of public transportation.
By stripping away existing bike lanes and adding more procedures to approve new bike lanes, it will discourage the public from biking, thus increasing gridlock.
