Busy, highly developed…

Busy, highly developed cities the world over have extensive dedicated bike lanes alongside roads to manage traffic flows. As the population of Toronto, especially the city core, expands, many people rely on the bike lanes to safely get to and from work, out to events, and for deliveries. New buildings throughout the city do not have parking. The TTC is capacity constrained and there is no sign of when the Eglinton Crosstown will open. Removing bike lanes will not give people the funds or parking to turn to cars, and even if it did that would worsen congestion. Removing bike lanes will only increase accidents and injuries for cyclists while traumatizing drivers who hit cyclists. This is not the right solution to manage congestion or end gridlock.
