This is an undemocratic overstep into municipal affairs. The people of Toronto have elected a mayor with a mandate to prioritize active transportation and transit - this is what the people want.
The issue of bike lanes and traffic has been studied to death all around the world, including here in Toronto. Evidence overwhelmingly suggests bike lanes are a positive impact in reducing traffic - it provides an alternate choice, and clearly separates users in different lanes. Removing bike lanes means cyclists will take over vehicular lanes. This Ontario act will result in injuries and deaths all for the sake of your governments subjective and emotional opinion regarding traffic. Do people's lives not matter? Do you no longer listen to facts? Does municipal-provincial scope boundaries not matter?
Scrap this. Stick to provincial issues, stay out of the way of municipalities.
