This legislation is…

This legislation is counterproductive. The only way to reduce congestion in Toronto is to reduce the number of cars. That requires providing people with alternatives to driving. I have lived and worked on Bloor since before the bike lanes were added, and the second vehicle lane was alway blocked by parked cars. So in reality, the bike lanes have not reduced the lanes available for drivers. It is also less stressful to drive with the bike lanes because I do not have to worry about cyclists. Like many people, I both drive and bike on Bloor, Yonge, and University and the bike lanes are better for everyone.

It would be a better use of my tax money to focus on improving transit, especially GO and the TTC, so that fewer people need to drive.
