Bike lanes should be a municipal matter, not provincial. It's clear that many on the provincial/suburban level despise Toronto, and want to punish us with absolute nonsense. The idea that bike lanes increase traffic/congestion is empirically incorrect and has been well & thoroughly debunked by professionals, so I won't get into it too much here - if you take but a few moments to think it through all by your big self, it's quite obvious. Less cars on the road = less gridlock. Wow! It's simple. It's so so simple. Particularly in this time of climate collapse, you should be ENCOURAGING people to take car-alternatives such as safe bike lanes, transit, etc. You know what you accomplish with a bill like this? Stoking anti-cyclist rhetoric, which leads to violence (many cyclists have been /attacked/ just this month). Toronto already has an appalling road-rage issue, as well as a Terrible Driver Epidemic. Don't encourage it. Use your heads. Use your common sense. I beg of you.
