As someone who bikes to my job regularly, I take advantage of these bike lanes. Congestion usually only really occurs for 1-2 hours a day, while bike lanes help protect cyclists year round. It seems ridiculous that we’d try to get rid of bike lanes to increase capacity for 1-2 more hours, just to allow for more drivers to be able to come into the streets.
Jarvis and Sherbourne are great examples of comparable streets with different circumstances. Jarvis does not have a bike lane and faces congestion quite regularly. In the alternative, Sherbourne street has a bike lane, is one block away from Jarvis, and is rarely busy. This highlights that bike lanes don’t cause congestion, vehicles do. Anything short of that is just a distraction to hide the true reason why we have congestion.
P.S. Maybe opening the Eglinton line would help ease congestion. Just a thought.
