Generally, people ride on sidewalks because the alternatives on the road are even more dangerous. I hope Olivia Chow really improves Toronto's bike/mobility lane network with something more than just a painted gutter lane.

In congested areas, bikes and scooters also use sidewalks to avoid traffic jams

Which is why they need their own bike lanes. And if these bike lanes are getting congested, then theyre doing their job and we need wider bike lanes.
