Hello I just wanted to voice my opinion on the removal of bike lanes. I understand the logic of widening the roads in order to improve traffic lanes however it is counterproductive. By widening roads we will actually be introducing more car traffic instead of reducing it. The more people see a way to use their car the more cars will be used thus increasing traffic once again. Instead of putting in efforts to have more cars on the roads of an already congested city, we should be focusing on better public transportation or alternatives means of travel such as cycling or even scooters. If we have the proper infrastructure to accommodate other modes of transportation it will help lessens the need of motor vehicles which will help lessen car traffic. An already congested city does not need more cars to further congested it. So I would like to urge Municipalities and Provincial legislators to reconsider removing bike lanes and instead promote alternative means of transportation.
