This is a poor proposal and…

This is a poor proposal and clear provincial overreach. The GTA will hamstring itself if it continues to pursue short-sighted commuter car infrastructure at the expense of a modern, multi-faceted transit network which includes cars, bikes, and public transportation.

The GTA is growing by hundreds of thousands of people each year. Many new developments are providing little if any vehicle parking. The 401, DVP, Gardiner, and other major motorways are already unworkable nightmares. All of these pressing issues make commuter car infrastructure less and less feasible and yet this provincial government is focused on removing some bike lanes on a few municipal streets? This minister is squandering his mandate.

What is the point of removing the bike lanes on University when it already has dedicated parking? What is the point of adding a few dozen parking spots if they're immediately occupied by all of the bikers now forced to drive? This will increase car congestion not reduce it.

The province needs to focus on provincial infrastructure, like our woefully outdated highway network or the fact we still have private toll roads cutting through the heart of the GTA. Leave the municipal planning to the respective municipal governments and do your job.
