I am a father of one and live downtown. I own a vehicle but during the course of the spring and summer, this city has excessive congestion and gridlock. This necessitated us to purchase bicycles which allow us to get around the city much faster, cut down on gas bills and helps do our part for environment. Part of the reason why we feel comfortable biking is because of the new bike lanes across the city. I feel safe biking with my 3yr old son knowing physical barrier seperate is and cars on the road. We utilize Richmond going west and Adelaide going east. If bike lanes are ripped out, yes we would gain an extra lane of traffic but many citizens such as myself, would revert to driving again, adding more vehicles to those reopened lanes. Toronto is densely populated with more condo projects being completed every year. Thy solution isn't more cars on the road but less.
