I am deeply concern how the contents of this bill related to the removal of existing bike lanes. These bike lanes were put in place under the direction of City Staff and elected members of Council. Local roads have always been the responsibility of Municipalities and this feels like a gross overreach of provincial responsibilities. If the people of Toronto want to remove bike lanes they could elect council members who run on removing bike lanes.

The removal of bike lanes will reduce the number of people cycling and INCREASE the number of cars on the road. This will have the exact opposite effect as the bill intends.

Property taxes were used to build these bike lanes, and now it is being proposed that my income tax be used to remove them. If the government wants to reduce waste I would recommend not tearing up existing infrastructure.
