The provincial government…

The provincial government should not have the authority to force the city into removing infrastructure that the City built.
Even if the province is willing to pay for the removal, it is an overstep of authority.

The removal of these bike Lanes is supposedly going to benefit those that live in the drivers, at the expense of the resident's of the community.

Personally rely on the Bloor and the Young bike Lanes to get to work everyday, and if they cease to exist I will be forced to take a longer public transit commute, or in the event of my early morning shifts an Uber as the subway is not running at that time, and my boss will not compensate me for those costs.

This is also a matter of safety, without these bike Lanes cyclist will be forced onto the roads, frustrating drivers and increasing road accidents, does this government value the safety of those that bike to get to work and school less than those who drive?

If the province is concerned about traffic, why did the government never consider removing the parking lanes, instead Immediately jumping to removing a travel lane?

Is the provincial government willing to reimburse the city for the cost of removing these lanes, as well as the cost of building new replacement lanes to the same standard as the ones that were removed?
