Removing bike lanes, and preventing new ones from being built, will do nothing to fix congestion, and will only result in more cyclists being killed. The University Avenue bike lanes in particular are a key asset to allow health care workers to get to work safely. The bike share station outside Toronto General Hospital sees so much use they need to have a valet to manage overflow. Bike lanes allow more clarity and visibility for drivers, as they make it less likely a cyclist is in your blind spot. Drivers choosing to cycle instead of drive, as many will do when bike lanes open, allows for much more efficient road use, and will relieve congestion for other riders.
