Bike lanes do not need to be…

Bike lanes do not need to be on major arteries. It is common sense, and empirically true, that if you remove a lane of traffic, congestion increase commensurately. As does frustration of drivers, leading to more road rage and erratic driving.
The new lanes on Yonge, Bloor, University and Eglinton are hard to navigate, have made the streets ugly with black and yellow warning signs, and are particularly treacherous for the mobility challenged when exiting a car to a car lane or bike lane. Those with walkers have to be so careful to walk from parked car to sidewalk, carrying heavy walker over medians.
Lastly, if bike lanes are meant to lead to safety, why have there been more bike deaths this year (6) than any prior year since records kept?
