Getting rid of bike lanes is…

Getting rid of bike lanes is completely unnecessary. If you want to get rid of gridlock, figure out how to open the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT now! Most people stuck in traffic are drivers who don't live in the city of Toronto. Bike lanes move more people than cars on aggregate. There are no studies that prove that adding more lanes eases congestion.

Bike lanes have a greater passenger capacity than lanes for vehicular traffic. The average single lane of private motor-vehicle traffic has a capacity of between 600 and 900 vehicles per hour, representing between 600 and 1,800 people (and it’s closer to the lower end of that range because most cars have but a single occupant).

By contrast, the average two-way protected bike lane (which typically occupies less space than a single lane of traffic), has a capacity of 7,500 people per hour.
