I’ve been biking to work on…

I’ve been biking to work on Yonge street for some time now, and I don’t believe that removing the bike lane will speed up car traffic. I recently had an experience getting to work where the bike lane was blocked and required cyclists to go into the car traffic lane. At the site of this blockage, the cars were forced to slow down as bikes merged into the car lane. If this bike lane is fully removed, these bikes will be in the car lane permanently and slow down traffic. Overall, based on my personal experience, I don’t believe that removing the Yonge bike lane will come with the benefits that you’re seeking.
