As long as people keep driving, there's going to be traffic congestion and it will continuously get worse.

Everytime I hear someone complaining about bike lanes, I think about our urban highways.

Highways are designed exactly what the driver has in mind.

No bike lanes, no pedestrians. No traffic lights. High speeds. Drivers doing exactly what they want.

A driver's paradise.

What can go wrong? Collisions and congestion, every single day.

Pre-pandemic, Toronto experiences 50 to 60 road fatalities annually. Post pandemic that annual number dropped to 40 to 50. And those include motorists after pedestrians and the majority. The lowest rate of fatality was in 2020 when cars were left at home but cycling activity went up.

Why is bad driving now the acceptable norm that the government would rather accommodate and prioritize a few minutes of a bad drivers' time over public safety?
