Bike lanes provide a safe route for people that commute by bicycle by separating them from drivers that are increasingly distracted and aggressive.

The only thing that causes gridlock is traffic(cars, trucks, construction vehicles). Remove the bike lanes and you are only inviting more motorized vehicles which leads to more gridlock. Alternatively, remove street parking, or restrict it during rush hours. Stop allowing construction sites to take over road lanes. Restrict the size of vehicles.

It is short-sighted to continue to push agendas supporting cars. In a 2019 survey by Canada Black Book, less than 50% of people aged 18-34 own or lease a vehicle siting they can't afford, the rising price of gas and the desire to go green. Let's face it. The situation has not improved.

But most importantly, you can't use a broad brush to paint policy. Every community has it's own needs. Toronto needs and wants bike lanes.
