As a Toronto citizen who drives, bikes, walks, and takes public transit, I think the removal of bike lanes as a solution to Toronto traffic is dangerous nonsense. Having recently been to Berlin, I have experienced a city not dedicated to the car. What a wonderful experience. Every world-class European city has prioritized cycling and transit infrastructure as part of what makes the city livable and attracts tourists. Prioritizing cars is short sited and does not serve the city well. Toronto is not a zone to pass through from one suburb to the next. Toronto should be prioritizing the livability of the city for the people who live here. The Province should have no part in those decisions. What a profoundly disappointing backwards step. Welcome to America.
