The bill and the conjoined…

The bill and the conjoined plans to remove bike lanes on University are foolish and shortsighted. The bill reads as a way to have the appearance of doing something about traffic, when in fact the two things that will help traffic most are the opening of the Ontario Line and finishing construction projects that have shut down the streets.

I recently moved to a place on University Ave, and when I walk down University into work every morning, I see that a lane could be added without removing any bike lanes by removing the on street parking. This would also make driving more efficient since there would no longer be any need to wait while someone parallel parks.

Removing on street parking on other streets such as Dundas would also go a long ways towards making traffic flow more efficient, and would do more for the City than removing bike lanes would.
