At any given time, a single…

At any given time, a single lane’s purpose should be to move the maximum of people. The most people that it’s capable of moving, the more gridlock it resolves. The best of which would be a public transport lane that’s exclusive, on time, and frequent, so that people prefers to use it since it’s faster than sitting in a car. The second best is bike lane because it moves a lot of people and it’s flexibility and fun/active component for people. When a safe, separated bike land is built, more people want to use it, and hence these people won’t need/ want to drive hence reduces the cars on road, reduces gridlock.
Not only that, at any given time, a single lane moves a TON more people than a car, which majority of the time only moves one person, and takes up WAY more space on road!

So many researches and urban design engineers/ civil engineers have proven time and time again that increasing more driving lanes can only add to grid lock, and sooooooooo many more cities in the world have improved their traffic through reducing driving lanes and increasing bike lanes and other modes of transportation. How can regulators in Toronto ignore all that?! Adding bike lanes were the progress that Toronto is taking in the right direction, can’t believe Ford would force our city to go backwards!!!!

Please, decision makers, just educate yourself, and don’t let the North American Car industry lobbyists become the sole interest of your decisions. Have a vision for our city, do the right thing. Put more bike lanes in!
