Dangerous Dougie wanting to take away bike lanes when Paris put them in. Look at the difference over years.

Cuts down on traffic, noise pollution, air pollution, "tire dust", improves public safety, increases foot traffic to shops, increases tourism, makes travel more accessible for all income brackets, strengthens communities, saves the city money, and improves the health of residents.

In fairness it wasn't just adding bike lines in Paris that did it, as per the byline

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic

Which just means in addition to adding more bike lines (rather than removing the ones we already have), we should also restrict car traffic in this city of Toronto to get ahold of the local air pollution problem here.

Agreed, let’s cut the traffic as well.
