This is an egregious breach of powers, and yet another attempt of Doug Ford meddling in Toronto politics. How is it that this proposal says bike lanes built in the past 5 years will be assessed, yet just this morning Premier Ford came out and specifically said Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue in Toronto will be targeted?? How has the Province determined this already? In what study? Oh right, there is no study because nothing is evidence-based anymore.

It is disappointing that the Province does not support active transportation as we are in the middle of a climate emergency. Further, please explain to me how removing bike lanes on these arterials will move vehicular traffic faster!?!?! Because it won't. You are ignoring a large collection of transportation studies and evidence that suggests the opposite. Why are you focusing on tearing up existing bike lanes? Spend that energy completing regional transportation projects (i.e. Eglington Crosstown) instead, per your purview. That will get people moving efficiently.

Stop the war on cyclists. It is dangerous and illogical. Shame on you.
