I ask that this proposal not be approved or pursued further. The body of research evidence demonstrates that bike lanes reduce, not increase, traffic (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijtst.2024.06.002). They additionally have a traffic calming effect.
I would be supportive of further bike lanes not being built on city traffic arteries such as Yonge st, University ave, and Bloor street, if better alternatives are constructed. City cycling/pedestrian paths without cars are preferred by both cyclists and motorists, as they are safer, prevent cyclist-motorist interaction and more scenic.
I ask the provincial government to consider the negative impact of further construction to remove bike lanes and also to remember that cyclists come from all political backgrounds. Bikes and bike lanes need not be a partisan issue.
