Bicycle lanes can reduce…

Bicycle lanes can reduce traffic more than another car lane ever could. They also increase pedestrian safety and make cities more comfortable to walk in. Extra lanes induce demand and soon the traffic is just as bad as before, or worse! It's more dangerous than ever to be a pedestrian in a car-centric city, and wider streets with more lanes will only exacerbate the issue. As a citizen of Ontario I am strongly opposed to the reduction of bicycle lanes. I am a strong supporter of alternative forms of transportation which reduce the need for a car and increase the safety, comfort, and quality of life for pedestrians.
