Removing bicycle lanes is…

Removing bicycle lanes is one of the most ineffective things you could possibly do in an attempt to reduce gridlock. How many real bicycle lanes are there even for you to remove. If you were serious about removing gridlock, implement a rule that ensures that lane closures within the downtown space have to be coordinated in a way that does not make travelling a 5km strip a literal 30minutes nightmare.

- construction that closes a lane needs to be limited in time or done BEFORE (8am) /AFTER (7pm) office hours
- lane closures needs to have indication as far as 100m to ensure traffic is aware and can move swiftly (no more zig zagging in attempts to move faster - it actually slows the 2 lanes down further)
- no trucks stopping in main roads between hours of 8am - 10am and 4pm-6pm and ensure we fine the business owning the truck as well as the operator
- no street parking of any kind on main streets (we need dedicated parking buildings or lots to replace this of course)
- add cameras at all intersections within downtown toronto to auto-fine and deduct points for drivers that block the traffic
- make U-turns on King, Queen, Bloor street illegal
