This bill works counter to Vision Zero, which is official City of Toronto policy, endorsed by the Ontario Traffic Council.

Induced demand: In the short term, more people will be induced to use the bike lanes. In the long term, more development will be created around the bike lanes, which will create a structure centered around their use.

Having bike lanes helps Metrolinx and TTC in their goals of decreasing carbon emissions, and increasing the share of people biking to their stations by creating safe places where people want to bike. Bike lockers are useless if people aren't biking to them

The City of Toronto public opinion and municipal government are strongly in support of municipal bike lanes, as well as municipal control over the process. The province stepping into the city's affairs in order to legislate specific design choices is a terrible overreach of their power.

Wastes public money, since the city already spent money building these bike lanes this year. It will waste the city's money to tear them out, and will unnecessarily harm public trust in government planning. Since the bike lanes were so recently built, tearing them out will unnecessarily damage the public's trust in the government to accomplish meaningful goals.

Unnecessary construction which (you guessed it!) closes roads and increases traffic on streets that have just recently been under construction to build said bike lanes.
