Existing data broadly shows that removing bike lanes in favour of additional motor lanes results in worse traffic and longer commute times. What is needed is a reduction in the ratio of cars to road track, which is more effectively achieved through alternative modes of transportation... Like bike lanes.

This proposal from Doug Ford will continue an increasingly worrisome trend in which his government wastes taxpayer money to attack the quality of life of his constituents. In addition, I find this gross overreach of power into the municipal scope as well as strengthened avenues for the government appropriation of private land is a terrifying example of authoritarian micromanagement.

I can only hope that the government stops spending time, money, and energy on partisan headlines with disastrous outcomes, and focuses on the public service we elected our representatives to do.
