A group is campaigning to get rid of bike lanes on several major Toronto streets Toronto Bikes
Several people refuted the group's claims, including one note that suggests EMS vehicle response times are being made worse by congestion.
New name, same falsehoods. Fact: EMS & Fire deputed 2x that bike lanes do not slow their response times. Fact: bike lanes improve safety for all modes, including pedestrians & drivers. Fact: Bloor/Annex BIA supports bike lanes. Fact: City data are collected year-round.Others didn't agree with the group's overall objective and suggested that dedicated bike lanes work to keep both cyclists and motorists safe.
If the bike lanes are removed then those of us who are experienced cyclists will just need to take up a car lane - for our own safety."When done wrong, bike lanes increase traffic congestion while bringing new stresses to road users, residents and neighbourhoods," the group writes. "Ill-conceived bike lanes endanger cyclists and pedestrians. They hurt retailers and restaurants. They transform once-quiet residential streets into congested feeder routes between major thoroughfares, which themselves become gridlocked no-go zones."
