Please do not make this into a requirement.
Bike lanes are important and having them is important.
Traffic doesn't just include cars and in a downtown environment like Toronto you have to have options and that includes bike lanes.
They're wonderful and helpful and connecting them so humans can move from one part of the city to the other is essential as prices of gas and cars skyrockets.
The province should focus on finishing the transportation projects that are currently in queue rather than stop future transportation happening. There are 2 transportation lines that are about ready to start moving people so they won't have to be in cars that should be the focus.
Never mind the "Ontario Line" that's already shut down quite a few areas in downtown and causes cars to have to go around alternative ways.
Currently you can't drive on Queen Street West over Yonge Street cause of the Ontario Line, and that's just one example.
Bike lanes aren't the problem.
The amount of people who use them aren't the problem.
Having them is part of a healthy transit system.
Please please do not add provincial oversight into building more bike lanes, nor remove current bike lanes. This is completely unnecessary.
I'm linking to the construction notices for the "ontario line" below, it's pretty extensive and hasn't *really* even started so that would be more of a main focus in my opinion. Thank you.
