There is a sore lack of logic behind the proposal to remove existing (some, brand new) bike lanes in the city of Toronto, where an overwhelming amount of Torontonians do not drive or own their own vehicle/have parking space, cannot or would rather not rely solely on our (underfunded and unsafe) public transit system, and can (and do) make use of the accessible, low cost, healthy, non-intrusive transit option that is cycling. Looking to all other growing city centres of the world, the trend is towards cycling and similar modes of transport, and trending away from increased motor vehicle use, for obvious reasons. There is no question that, as a city grows and the number of people per square kilometre climbs, a car (that most often is only holding one person) is the least efficient method of moving people, compared to a bus, subway car, or bike lane. Lastly, I’ll point out that the Ontario Government is attempting to punch their way into intracity transit, where it has no business being. Stay in your lane.
