Blaming congestion on bike…

Blaming congestion on bike lanes has no evidence or factual backing. Bike lanes provide a safe alternative to car transportation. If Torontonians do not feel safe to bike, they are more likely to take a car or ride share service leading to MORE cars on the roads, and contributing to congestion.

Car centric infrastructure in a large city is inefficient. The province should prioritize funding and expediting any of the public transit projects that are unfinished, funding the TTC to do vital repairs to reduce slow zones, and leave the capable, democratically elected municipal government to make decisions about our city. Public transport and safe alternative transport infrastructure is the way to reduce congestion, this is supported by evidence. Spending tax payer money on removing existing bike lanes and vetting new ones is not only unnecessary but negligent, ignorant, and actively harmful to vulnerable road users such as cyclisists. Use that money to support public transport projects.
