Keeping cities moving requires an intermodal means. That includes travel by all modes. Driving is time consuming and expensive. Removing bike lanes won't change that, but it will create unnecessary costs, and put the City of Toronto back into the 1960 urban planning mindset.
Toronto is a progressive cosmopolitan city, often voted in the top global cities based on quality of life ratings. It has long been reported that quality of life ratings attract real estate investment: https://lnkd.in/gwPeYNPi and location scores are often used to market real estate, including cycling scores.
If individual property wealth is positively affected by liveability rankings, this should dovetail to a stronger municipal tax base. If "Traffic Commute Time Index" is improved by the presence of bike lanes and more cyclists (which it is) then why are we reducing our property value with backward looking provincial planning ideas that overstep municipal planning authority.
Makes no sense. No common sense.
