Removing bike lanes will do…

Removing bike lanes will do nothing to remove gridlock in Ontario, which is a function of a poor record on delivering transit that would remove those who do not need a car on a daily basis and allow those that do require one to move more freely. As one who uses my car 20x more than my bike, the bike lanes are welcome to provide safety and a set delineation for safe driving. For example, University Avenue's lanes were part of a process supported local hospital works, doctors and nurses, a group already under stress by the lack of funding to our public (not private, nor should it ever be) health system, who use it to get to the hospitals safely. AND, it should be noted these were put in place to allow for ambulance accommodation. It would be far more impactful to return to getting serious about poor driving skills across this province's populace. The only thing slowing down my neighbours are each other, while they run stop signs and red lights in residential neighbourhoods with schools.

Nothing about this process, online and in the broader media, being purported by this government provides evidenced based decision making, which tracks entirely with your premier's record during his time with the City of Toronto. It isn't even conservative in nature. Repeating meaningless catch phrases at podiums and spending more taxpayer dollars on PR is not actual responsible governance.
