As a resident, bike lanes keep me and my family safe. They allow me to get to work (which often starts before the subway opens) safely. When my child had a fever, they let me get her to the ER and home again without stressing about people speeding too close to us on the empty, late-night streets.
As a manager of a coffee shop, the Danforth bike lanes have greatly helped the business where I work. People can get to us more easily, with parking out front even during rush hour. I look out onto the street and I don’t see gridlock - I see people, out and able to safely walk and bike around their neighbourhood, with the traffic moving at pretty much the same pace as before.
These efforts by the provincial government are frankly disgusting. We are talking about the safety of tens of thousands of people, our environment - the future world for my children - for a few minutes shorter commute for drivers. Which they won’t even get, because bike lanes don’t slow down traffic.
