This proposal is a waste of public funds. Removing bike lanes will be costly and based on data, will either have no impact on travel times or at best might save drivers a couple minutes only at peak travel times.

Adding bike lanes actually has a proven track record of making our streets safer, our environmental impact smaller and our population more healthy. In many cases, good bike infrastructure also actually reduces congestion because less people drive.

I am sure the Ontario government has experts telling you all of this. Listen to them instead of a handful of loud drivers who are misinformed about why their drives are slow.

And focus on the whole province instead of just the City of Toronto. While you’re distracted with pet projects there, the people who actually voted for you are dealing with crumbling schools and hospitals. Build roads in the north where they are needed if you’re so intent on it!
