This bill contains more…

This bill contains more bureaucracy for no reason, it is proven again and again by studies in cities across the world that bicycle lanes do not cause gridlock.

They will typically decrease gridlock because if the alternatives to driving are offered effectively, they will be used, which creates fewer cars on the road and less gridlock.

That is the only true solution to traffic problems, is removing cars from the road. Yes some people will always have to commute, but if more people don't have to, it will make their lives easier too.

It's already been shown that the Premier has no interest in data driven decisions and this is a petty move to dictate Toronto where he still wants to be mayor. To say that you are going to rip out the Bloor, Yonge and University bike lanes before the regulations are even developed shows this is a misguided attempt to cover actions he wants to take.

Keep the bike lanes, the data shows they work. There are so many studies out there displaying this.

Personally speaking, if I can avoid driving my car, I absolutely will, I infinitely prefer walking/cycling and transit even if it takes slightly longer. Guess what, that's one car off the road! And I know more people feel the same, oh look that's more cars off the road! If you make that infrastructure more appealing, fewer people will drive, easing congestion.

More traffic lanes do not help congestion, the concept of induced demand just invites more cars onto the road filling that space, slowing it down again.
