I do not support this…

I do not support this proposal. Research indicates that the more traffic lanes that are put in, the more it appeals to people who may not otherwise have chosen to drive, thereby putting more cars on the roads and increasing congestion.

In reality, traffic would improve if changes were made to traffic conditions, not bike lanes. Removing on-street parking and putting in additional left-turn lanes, NOT removing bike lanes.

Furthermore, if the Ontario government would like to improve the economy, it would not only retain the existing bike lanes, but actually increase the number of lanes. Research shows that bike lanes increase spending at local businesses.

Please do not remove these bike lanes from the city's streets, because they are not making commuting any more difficult or longer for those who drive. There are other interventions that could be done to improve the lives of drivers in Toronto, without endangering the lives of Toronto's cyclists and pedestrians.
