I live in The Annex in Toronto, and I drive far more than I bike. However, I understand the importance of bike lanes, and I think the province should not have authority over how the City of Toronto operates bike lanes. Cars should not be prioritized in cities. Biking around the city has made it far more accessible for me, and it saves a lot of money not spending money on the TTC. Further, when I am driving, I find it dangerous and scary having bikers in my lane - it is dangerous.
It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.
It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving.
It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets.
It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.
STAY AWAY FROM OUR BIKE LANES.
