There is simply no evidence to suggest removing bike lanes will help traffic. The reason traffic is bad in Toronto and will continue to get worse is that there are too many cars, and not enough alternatives to driving.

Toronto in 2024 is not the Toronto of decades past. We need transit, and we need cycling infrastructure. And every single driver should be thankful for transit and cycling infrastructure since every cyclist and every train rider is one fewer car in traffic.
