Bicycles on Jarvis

Here is one perspective of increasing availability of bicycle lanes in Toronto.

When I think of downtown Toronto, I see a sea of automobiles and remember how long it took me to get there and find a parking place.

Metropolitan Toronto does not have high-flow north/south arteries.

Rather than finding ways to allow more vehicles, Toronto needs to encourage drivers to feel good about alternate means of access.

This may be a bold (i.e. non re-electable) step by David Miller but it is necessary in the survival of the city core.

When I think of Copenhagen and Paris, I see people bike-riding, walking and sitting at outside cafes.

In my lifetime, I would like to envision Toronto in the same way.
