If the government wants to…

If the government wants to reduce gridlock, why would they be effectively introducing more construction to the streets of Toronto by ripping up already built bike lanes? If the government really cared about reducing gridlock, perhaps they should be trying to encourage fewer people to commute by car from the suburbs into Toronto by investing in more public transit to get cars off the streets. This proposal is short-sighted and draconian. I commute by bike everyday and the bike lane on Bloor Street keeps me safe as I make my way from my home in Etobicoke to downtown.
