Really bad idea not grounded in any sort of reality. Studies show that bike lanes REDUCE congestion and REDUCE death. This is Doug Ford and the PC Party waging culture war and nothing more, while showcasing how the party prioritizes the privileged over the many.
The way to improve traffic and congestion is to get more cars off the road. That means investing in transit (hey whatever happened to the Eglinton LRT?), investing in bike lanes and encouraging people to take transit and not drive. Robust transit and bike lane funding will help reduce congestion. Unfortunately the only thing the PC Party is interested in funding is the pockets of developers and friends of the party and leader, meaning this feedback likely falls on deaf ears. It's ironic hearing all the lip service about reducing "red tape" only for this administration to continue making things more difficult and less efficient for municipalities to get things done that their voters and residents want. Doug is not the mayor of every town and city in this province. Stay in your lane.
