Bicycle lanes reduce…

Bicycle lanes reduce congestion. I would drive more in Toronto if I didn't have a bike. On streets without a bike lane, cyclists are entitled to an entire lane of the road, and we have to to be able to use the road safely.

There are many other causes of gridlock in Toronto including but not limited to parked cars, delivery vehicles and taxis blocking traffic when they stop, drivers running red lights or blocking intersections... the real issue is too many cars in Toronto. The highways entering Toronto are over capacity, why do these commuters and visitors to Toronto expect to come off a gridlock highway to find empty lanes in the downtown core?

We understand they are an easy target but this proposal will cause great harm to cities who must be able to fulfill thier roles as the urban planners in Ontario.

Removing bike lanes will increase congestion and increases risknofnjnjury or death to cyclists.

Walk back this political stunt and allow municipalities to do thier work, and have the Province focus on metrolinklx and enabling livable walkable cities.
