Anyone who lives in Toronto…

Anyone who lives in Toronto knows that Bike lanes are not the cause of the traffic congestion. Bike lanes actually ease congestion. I can travel to downtown Toronto in a safe and faster way as a result of the bike lanes. I have seen up to 12 bikes in a row at a light, that would be replaced by 12 cars if the bike lanes are removed.

Traffic congestion in Toronto is due to the following:
- Ongoing construction on Queen street and University and other streets due to the Ontario line.
- Construction at Bloor and Spadina and other major intersections this past summer.
- There has been so much construction in the downtown core that it is even difficult getting around on a bike as well as being a pedestrian on sidewalks.
- The number of Ubers, cars and delivery trucks stopping on the side of the road for "just a minute" completely blocking a lane of traffic. We need much better enforcement with cars illegally stopped towed away immediately. Cars and trucks are even driving and stopping on sidewalks - how dangerous is that!

Bike lanes currently in place should not be removed. This is a waste of money and won't improve traffic in anyway!
