I travel by bike, by car, by…

I travel by bike, by car, by transit and by foot - so I experience all aspects of this issue.
This proposal is ridiculous, ill-planned, and vindictive.
Congestion is a problem - and the way to improve it is to reduce car traffic by promoting better transit and bike lanes, not the reverse.
This proposal is not backed up by evidence. The most recent studies done show minimal impact on car travel by bike lanes. Some of them even show bikes lanes improved car travel times. Construction, on the other hand, quite clearly slows car (and bike) travel.
The idea of bike lanes on side streets instead of major streets is silly. Quiet side streets are just where bike lanes are not needed - such streets are already safe and pleasant for bike travel. If such routes exist that get me where I need to go, I will bike on them, with no need for a bike lane. But the road grid is such that there is no reasonable way to get by bike from where I live (north of Danforth) to where I regularly commute (Queen & University or Bloor & Spadina) without going on major roads.
This proposal will make my life less safe and less pleasant - and encourage me to take my car instead of my bike - thus increasing congestion.
