Hello,
I am a cyclist and a driver in Toronto.
Removing bike lanes will make congestion worse. Cyclists are going to remain and they will just take up a lane of traffic instead. There will be more cyclist deaths and injuries and drivers will go even slower because there will be bikes sharing the lanes with them all of the time. On a place like Bloor street, there will not be room for drivers to overtake, so the safest way for cyclists to travel is to take an entire lane of the road. I have a feeling you all know this, it's just political pandering - it's obvious. When I am driving, I want cyclists as far away from me as possible...some of them, let's be frank are not very good at cycling. I do not want to be responsible for a death or injury, so having them on bike lanes is by far better for me as a driver.
We all know Doug Ford only dislikes that one lane in Etobicoke which he thinks inconveniences him personally, why try and close bike lanes across the city rather than just the one he personally dislikes? A very see-through attempt to cover his tracks. Of course his personal dislikes are not supposed to affect his governance - he is suppose to represent the people of Ontario. After several years of him in power, I await him taking this responsibility seriously.
The congestion will remain after bike lanes are removed and may get worse, who will you blame next?
