Why bike lanes should remain on Ontario’s roads

Efforts to remove bike lanes in Toronto could result in more injuries and make transportation more challenging for people.

Supporters of such moves argue that bike lanes worsen traffic congestion, negatively impact local businesses and delay emergency vehicles from getting where they need to go.

They are wrong on all points, as proven time and time again. Why are we still listening to these liars?

The fact remains that the most traffic you’ll see on any road, just happen to be roads without cycling infrastructure.

If 18 lanes of highway still can’t solve congestion, then the Ontario government should look at how to remove cars from those roads, instead of inducing further demand.
