This is a terrible idea…

This is a terrible idea. Congestion is a symptom of poor public transit and too many cars. The province should invest in creating better transit infrastructure such as light rail and improved bus services and subway systems, promoting alternative transportation methods such as bicycling, and creating disincentives for vehicles.

Removing bike lanes will also increase health risks and congestion for both drivers and cyclists. Without dedicated lanes, cyclists will need to share the roads with cars. This increases the risk of accidents on the road, as well as congestion.

Even if sooner of the current bike lanes are not ideally located, municipal bike lanes should not be part of the province's jurisdiction. This is an abuse of power.
